I've been making
hats with decorative small flowers on them in various styles for
awhile, but over the past couple of years I've been coming up with bigger
and more interesting and dramatic flowers. This is how the Big Flower Hat
came about. This style can be snug-fitting like a 1930's cloche, or looser and floppier, a bit like
a tam. I made all the
first Big Flower Hats out of hemp, linen, cotton & silk, then branched out
into wool, mohair, alpaca, silk and tencel. These unique designs are
all my own original work, and no patterns were used. I make a
limited number of these hats, so do not generally have more than a
couple in stock. Therefore most of those below have already
been sold. However, I'm happy to do custom orders.
Hats are generally priced from $60 to $65 depending on time and cost
of materials. Hats
pictured below that are either currently for sale or recently sold
will click to enlarge. All hats are handspun, hand dyed and one-of-a-kind. Once a hat is
sold, I can't duplicate it, but I can usually make something similar
during the months when I do custom orders (January through September).
Directions for custom ordering may be found on the
How to Order page. |
