And i made another one. This time with a tunnel out of the fabric to hide the elastic.
Ripped appart an old sun visor and made a pattern from it. Easier than i thought.
Over the last two weeks I have been hand patterning a new casual work cap for myself and after many, many iterations I have a good block. I've been sharing the process with my Patreon members: https://www.patreon.com/posts/capping-off-cap-128011093?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Decided to dust off my manual pattern drafting skills to create a new daily-driver hat. Good thing it's only a hat. If I was patterning a jacket I would have needed to clean off the table first.
This dress has some history. I’ll tell the full story slowly here. For now, it’s two most recent appearances- National Women’s show #ottawa in 2021 ( #stillMasking), and the last Halloween party we attended in 2019 as a ghost bride.

Lady Trying on a Hat or The Black Hat (1904) by Frank Weston Benson (American artist, lived 1862-1951). Apparently this painting was not meant to be about the sitter, but the furnishings of a lady's boudoir - colonial American furniture, Asian chest and vases, bright pink shawl. Mostly all I see is that amazing hat!

What Do Shtreimels and Cowboy Hats Have in Common? https://hyperallergic.com/809685/what-do-shtreimels-and-cowboy-hats-have-in-common-milliner-richard-faison/ #millinery #hatmaking (via @hyperallergic)
A chance encounter on the subway introduced photographer Francesca Magnani to the multicultural world of Brooklyn milliner Richard Faison.
I dream of hats. Or more accurately do not sleep and instead think of hats.
I've made a couple and fixed up several, sans any training or much actual knowledge. It is amusing to me that I, a professional photographer, don't have many decent photos of them either 😄
