While K was home last weekend, she worked on a hat for her friend, Beth.
Here it is before the lining went in:
The fur is so thick and soft! I could touch it once she had it cut out and I wasn’t really touching the whole animal. 😀 K has found the wonderful fur dealer where Phil used to sell when he was of trapping age. What a funny circle & one we never expected! 😉 (He quit about the time K was born.)
I can’t find any finished pictures with Beth in her hat. The lining was to be turquoise & purple plaid flannel!!
K has plans to make more hats like this and I think her own head will be warmed by fox this winter. Beth however wanted the tail and a coonskin hat!! No thanks. 😉
After she had a trip to the local thrift stores, I helped her get started on altering a 1980’s wool coat into a cape! More on that after she completes it. It is going to be so fun, I just know she’ll send me pictures. 😀
I’ve had a headache most of the week so haven’t accomplished as much as I had wanted. But JP is ready for college and K is moving to her first apartment. Yeah for big kids! 🙂
(I need a new category for life out of college for Miss K….)
and sew on...
