I've always wanted those clover fabric yoyo makers, but they were so pricey brand new-- I found a set on ebay real real cheap and I didn't miss the opportunity to snatch them up, and I couldn't be happier with them lol.<br /><br />The pillbox hat pattern is rather simple, just a circle with a band-- the tough part was not having a stiff buckram for the base nor hat wire to maintain the shape. I used a combination of pellon Peltex 72F double sided fusible felt with a starched layer of muslin. Instead of hat wire, I used some fabric covered floral wire that I could only find in 18" lengths, but deemed similar enough that it would do.<br />Y'know what... I think the hat deserves its own post. I think I'll write it! Heh.<br /><br />Recycling is one of my credos-- definitely an art to covering up flaws! Cheers to that, lol.<br /><br />I hope you had a great Easter too ;)Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-90500911573253520792017-04-19T12:47:38.295-07:002017-04-19T12:47:38.295-07:00Thank you!

And you drafted a hat?! That's some serious skill.:)<br /><br />I like your idea for covering up flaws, I've had to do the same in the past with lace appliques and sequins (I've since learned that tears in tulle are annoying but not the end of the world). This is a stellar Easter ensemble, happy Gothy Easter!Ladyfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402600337611206195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-65882529962873796472017-04-15T23:02:57.514-07:002017-04-15T23:02:57.514-07:00GORGEOUS!
