Hats, caps and head gear

Anyone except me make hats? I'm a vintage geek who loves the '20s and '30s and so I'm always in the need for new hats.

Made this cloche hat today from a felt cone which I steamed, blocked and shaped. Added some trimming in black wool felt too:



Black is hopeless to photograph, but if anyone cares, I posted some more pictures and wrote a little on how I made it on my blog http://dulloldperson.blogspot.se/201...s-modiste.html

So, anyone else make hats? Caps? Crowns? Tiaras? Any form of head wear?
