Red Hats

Our Florida sister is a Red Hat person and she is serious about it. I rather imagine that if I got arrested for something dastardly I'd have to sit in jail until her Red Hat social schedule was clear before she'd come to my rescue. A thought on making an extraordinary red hat - take a stretchy turban from your bald days and cover it effusively with petals from red silk flowers. You can attach them with stitches, hot glue, safety pins - anything that will work. I made one years ago for a cancer-survivor buddy and it was quite stunning (to say the least). Polly

Some of the hats they had on...and I had my generic fishing hat...I think I will get something with a brim on it. Our next outing is game day at this ladies house....she is having all kinds of tables set up. I do not know how to play poker so if one of the tables is poker I am out. I should put on my life list to play poker next to ballroom dancing. Pami

IIRC Vogue patterns, the last time I looked which was a couple of years ago, had some vintage felt hats that didn't look too hard to make. And I bet you could get some double-sided fusible stabilizer (as in Fabric Bowls) and adapt those patterns to something more summery than felt. It would be washable too! Roberta in D

Do you have to wear the same hat to every meeting? Or can you have a selection of them? Thinking red straw hat for summer maybe felt or 'sateen' for winter. Don't box yourself in with just one if you don't have to. I can just see you having fun coming up with quite a selection of them.

Butterfly (made Firefly one when she went thru chemo (winter) out of a heavy sateen. Her teddy bear wears it now:)
