recycled jacket to hat with flower trim

 

Hi I am Elizren and this is my first post.  I hope you like it.  I love fashion especially thrifting and repurposing things.  This is an old fleec jacket i bought at thrift for $2.00, I wanted a hat to wear to Renaissance Fair but I thought I could make one.  So I cut out a pattern from an old grocery bag using a hat I had - I just traced and cut around the top and sides of the hat to create the pattern then I sewed it together and Voila! Instant Renaissance hat.  I plan on making a few more and I wanted to insert silky, brocade and tapestry type fabrics to make it more "period" like for the Renaissance costuming.  For the flower which you can attach to the hat - I cut out petals and sewed them together and I coiled some of the side seam for the flower center.  For complete details check out my youtube video at Elizren's channel.  xxoo
