Seventeen years ago this month my husband and I were married. He was still in school and I had started my first year teaching. Needless to say, we were pretty broke and didn't have a lot of time to take for our honeymoon, either. We were married on a Saturday morning and we were both back at school by Tuesday. I shared with my freshmen English students that we saw a great movie, Toy Story, that weekend. They were appalled! "You saw a movie on your honeymoon!?!" I knew what they were implying, so I said, "It's not like that takes the whole time." Imagine if they knew we went shopping, too! Because I bought the best winter hat that weekend made of felted wool and I have never seen one in a store since. Luckily, it has held up all this time, but this winter I am recreating it in a variety of materials.
These sew up pretty quickly (30 to 45 minutes) and although the original Honeymoon Hat shows no signs of wear and tear, it will be nice to have some different color choices. Come over to Just Stuff for the full tutorial.

Love your honeymoon hats and the beautiful story attached to them. Love can never be defined by the money you spend. Love is about the feelings you share so I am sure that you wedding day was meaningful and special.
What great hats and a great story too. We'd love to see some before images of what you have refashioned them from!
