Making A Boho pirate hat

This thing took an incredible amount of work, and detailing, and problem solving... altho' it's rather simple stuff... like ULTRA simple, it just takes TIME and patience.

I need to get some better starch to iron the thing... cause the ruffles are too flimsy...

 Yeah, it's way out there, and eye catching.

Everyone wants to try it on, or borrow it!

So, do I look wickedly decedent yet bohemian yet? 

 Not the best, clearest photos from my smartphone... but, whatever...

 Some old bronze-ish yellow colored fabrics from my step-mother...
Cut into strips, sewn together, then, sewn ribbons on...

 Ruffles!

Crazy Summer

Recovering from surgery still.... I'm OK enough to work... but, I still need to go to the doctor every few weeks to clean out the dead scabbing tissues from inside my sinuses. My throat is fine tho'. :)

My keyboard is broken, so the letter "p" is broken. Only way I can type it is find a website in my history, scan for the letter, copy & paste. Stinx if u need 1 case size or the other... otherwise, I will type the number "9" instead.

Screwed up nearly ALL of my passwords, since I use this letter often in any number of passwords. :-/
So, gotta start over. Meh...

Good thing my computer log-in doesn't have that letter otherwise I couldn't use it!

So....

Can't go to any festivals, fairs, etc... I'm broke... unemployed...

But, I'm finally well enough to go swimming, I can drive now, and I can sign legal papers.

I've been doing sewing all month....

I finally got to start the full sewing work on my Ghawazee Coat!

And, I also got a new hat, which I am turning into a pirate hat.

Back When I 1st Made My Pirate Hat

It's gone through changes  I 1st made started doing it.

It was originally a Witch Hat. It's actually STILL a Witch hat... I just need to unpin in. By, now, I also have it wired in place. But, this was back when I 1st made it go Pirate.

ARG! Me bonny Bonnette!

Back at this time, I used my old chicken/rooster tails (circa. 1993) that we used to raise when I was a kid in South NJ.
