Straw Hat
Chilly winters can sometimes be dull, but Constance and Carrot Soup have found an exciting squashy hat from the thrift store…
For ages we have been looking for a hat with narrow, flexible, straw-coloured braid. Winter seems to be a good time to find cheap second-hand straw hats!
The hat makes a very cosy nest,
…but we are busy snipping the stitches…
and turning it back into narrow braid, there are Hitty millinery plans afoot.















Ah…. looking forward to seeing what wonderful and magical millinery emerges! 🙂
We are wondering how many Hitty hats we can make out of this big one!
oh how very clever!! The Quimper Hittys and their human are amazing!! Can’t wait to see what you create.
The paper is easy to sew! We were happy to find it, and eager to start our recycling project!
I too will look forward to what comes from the hands of the thrifty, creative and inventive QH human with Hittys hinting and helping alongside.
Hitty hints and helping hands are invaluable! We have a few specific projects in mind, but there is going to be a lot of hatstraw!
oh, recycling at its most creative. I can just see the girls in new Easter bonnets.
Easter Bonnets – what a good idea!
Great idea! I go to thrift stores often, but never thought to look at men’s hats for material for Hitty hats!!
