a few faves





I just made it through a hot but fun Artisan Market in Enderby, which I made a wack of hats for. Here are a few faves! Most of them sold, but I can make more...

Custom Options




So, as you know, I have my hats at the lovely Nurtured by Nature store in town, and I'm now also carried by mommytree.net, where I've posted some pics of fabrics and ribbon that I have in stock for custom stuff. I thought it only fair to post them here too so you can take a peek at some options. Bear in mind that I'm happy to use other fabrics of your choosing (or mine if it makes it easier for you). I love to make new combos, and am happy to make the size and style to suit you best! Enjoy:)

Wooo Wooo!! NEW: Engineer's Hat




Ok, so this might be my favorite boyish hat for the summer. It is light, fun, and a nice break from your basic ball cap. I'm loving it in the madras fabrics and I think I'm making one for me in a linen ASAP.

Sunny Days Hat




A current fave of mine for boys and girls is the Sunny Days hat. It has a nice all round brim for the sun, it flips up for fun style options, and is super light and flexible. It can be made reversible too.

Madras Madness






I had an order for a boy and found these great light madras fabrics and the big yellow buttons seemed like the perfect accent. They are super light and I think I might make one for me!

Spring Bonnets Bloom










Bonnets are back and this batch is available now at Nurtured By Nature, here in town. I can always do custom stuff too, but a few of the fabrics - like the great navy poppy one- are a limited supply and are one offs (sadly, as that is one of my all time faves so far). Spring is here and it's time to get those sun hats out!

White Christmas Bonnets






I've been dreaming of these - soft cotton velveteen on the outside in rich colors, and soft white fleece on the inside for extra warmth and softness, all tied up with a satin ribbon. Delightful!
