Hello! I just finished my second Fedora - this time it's a ladies Fedora in green velour fur felt. It has a very stingy brim, which I was happy to get out of it, as I pulled it from a very very small fur felt hood. It was definitely a learning hat, but I'm proud of the trim on it, and I think it suits me. I tend to wear my fedoras tilted back so they don't squash my bangs. If you'd like to take a look, I put photos of the whole hat making process on my facebook haberdashery page, Hard Heart Hats: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.162174713982915.1073741834.161102970756756&type=1

There's another gallery on that page of my last Fedora, a man's from a Man's fur felt body, and a straw, non-Fedora I'm currently working.

Cheers,
N

Thank you! It started out as one sort pf bow, but I fussed with it and came up with something hybrid. I really enjoy working with the ribbon. Clearly, it can always get neater and crisper, but I'm pleased with my first attempt at designing my own bow.

Cheers,
N

I did it with my iPhone. :)
Not hard it makes it easier using taptalk program for the iPhone to access the forum.
It is my preferred way now as I it notices on my iPhone for subscribed threads. As well as qouted post and PM's. plus you can post pictures right out of your photo library.

Hi Natasha. It was a ton of fun in Lee's class. Nice to see your finished work up here in the Fedora Lounge. You looked good in all the hats I saw you try on.

6 7/8 Red & Turquoise Fur Felt Fedora

This one has a more rounded crown than I've done before. Pulled on a block from the 50s. Started as a red fur felt hood, trimmed in 50s turquoise ribbon with red jungle cock feather.
