About 20 years ago Ardenwood sponsored a hat making class for docents in the Patterson House. It was a 2 day class and I learned a lot. I have tried my hand at making several hats since then. But, there is always a lot more to learn. So, with that in mind, I signed up for an online hat class put on by
Jennifer has a series of several kinds of classes. This is the first one I will have taken. She puts out newsletters on historical sewing projects and problem solving.
I have worn my latest hat 2 times so far and am liking it more and more. I do find I need to find another nice strong, sharp hat pin. Strong because the wimpy stemmed ones just bend as you try to get them through 2 layers of buckram.
So now I have to go shopping for my new hat! What should I make? It has to be 1889 -1912 period.
Maybe something in brown to go with my new brown skirt? That would be 1903-ish.
