Hat Time!

Don't you hate it when things refuse to work the way you want them to?

Originally I'd planned to trim my hat in red and black, to go with the only dress I have done at the moment, but it just didn't want to work. I'll still wear the hat Sunday when I do nice (outside) pictures, but it's just not quite a perfect match. Not in my perfectionist eyes, anyway.

More pictures.

I need to sew the flowers down yet; at the moment they're just pinned. This just means that now I need to make a pink and ivory dress to go with my hat. But it'll have to wait a bit, because I've already decided on my next two projects.

Speaking of which, here's a peak at what's next for me. I absolutely love the Victorian takes on historical clothing, so I couldn't pass up on this one when I found the plate earlier today. Now I need to go digging through my stash to see if I have anything I might want to use.
