Behind the scenes again!

[labricoleuse]

Last night was photo call, and the show opens Saturday here at work. We're generally busy so i've not got much time for a long post on it yet (i'll make one when i have the photo CD in-hand). I did go around and take some "behind the scenes" photographs of some of the period-pattern half-form projects and some hats in-progress to share. According to the cliche, this is at least as good as me writing several thousand words... :)

Here's a hat i began making this summer--feathers and fabric are vintage, hatbody is new.


Finished hat i illustrated blocking in a previous post

I'm going to add that book to my "for presents!" wishlist!

Not sure exactly what the plan was - I was initially seeing if I could find a crochet pattern for a parasol (I crochet, my sister knits (http://flickr.com/photos/64141303@N00/2385865337/)). But I sew better than I crochet... Maybe I'll do a set of wedding party parasols in the wedding colours as a wedding gift.
