Recently at TJ Maxx, I found this great black and white hat to round out my wardrobe.
While waiting to leave for our big trip to Lynchburg, in the height of Virginia springtime, I realized I had enough time to trim a hat!
As I perused my assortments, I decided to use polka dots and gingham to trim my hat, embellished with a daisy.
Choosing the gingham for the main sashing, I cut an appropriate length to allow for wrapping around the base of the crown, which I tied off into a bow.
At strategic points, I pinched the gingham which I secured with thread at the base of the crown.
Tying a length of polka dot ribbon into a bow, I secured that to the gingham with my needle and thread.
After that, I sewed my daisy onto the bows and I was ready to go!
We have a great trip planned in Lynchburg, to visit Lafayette and the sites from one of my favorite books, A Severe Mercy. Stay tuned!
