Hello Everyone,
Over the Christmas break, I broke into my
out-of-control extensive collection of ribbon and went on a marathon of rosette-making, trying different trims and techniques.
I thought it would be really fun to create a lil' cocktail hat (of sorts) that is festooned in tiny ribbon roses.
Something I could wear when I have
drinks lunch with The Ladies, ya know?
So.... I made a small headband-style frame out of wire with a pointed front:
|
Aluminum wire covered with scraps of printed black cotton. Heavyweight non-fusible interfacing is used to interline the point for smoothness and comfort. All edges are clean-finished and whipstitched closed along the back. |
|
Yep, stays in place like a headband! |
Then I started pinning all the various silver roses on it:
|
Mmmm-Hmmm!!!
This hat is intended to be worn with an updo.....think I might add a veil too! |
More to come!!
