HAT SHAPERS The wooden hat block is a thing of the past!
FLANGED BRIM
The flanged brim is a wonderful hat shaper with
brim. The brim measures 3 1/2 inches in the back and widens as it comes
around to a 4 1/2 brim in the front. While this is an exclusive design of
mine, it has the potential of being the base crown/brim for hundreds of
styles from past centuries.
A little vision and you will be able to recreate
bonnets as seen across the ages.
Made into a lightweight white
wool
it can be
worn in early spring as you work out in your gardens. It is possible to create
the hat so that the longer brim in over the back of your neck to protect you
from the sun.
This is my favorite of hats, so feminine and
soft looking, changing into a bawdy and loud hat when embellished with color and
feathers.
