Finally - new hats

I am really excited over my new hats and I just had to show you. They are easy to make, either you crochet or knit them.

 I have made an innerhat so that they keep the shape I want. But the pink and blue hat (at the end) has no innerhat inside which make them more like beanie hats.

This hat has no innerhat inside - and looks more like a beanie hat.

No innerhat in this one either.

Fashion weeks - Fall 2015

2014 is history....

Looking back at 2014 and my hat production I must admit; it has been a more productive year than I thought - and considering that I have hardly been able to make anything this Autumn, I am suprised of all the hats I actually have made. I hope you too had a creative and productive year. ..if not there is always a new chance in 2015....


Happy New Year !



This is some of the stuff I have made in 2014. I hope 2015 will give me the opertunity to make more hats.....

Faux fur - basket hat

My new favorite hat is the faux fur basket hat (as mentioned in earlier posts: inspired by Juanjo Oliva). I made it this spring - but I have not been able to use it until now. The hat is soft and because I have put strings in it - I can shape it as I wish.

DIY hat made by faux fur collar

Last winter I bought a couple of faux fur collars to use with my coats. The winter turned out to be milder than usual and I did not get to use the collars as I planned. Then I got the idea that the collars  would be great to use on a hat instead. So this is the result.

I used a Straw boater hat, and I covered it With padding material/fabric. I put padding on the top too, and stiched it together with the padding on the side.






I crocheted a cover and put it over the padding. I stiched the cover to the padding.

This is the faux fur collar I used, bought in HM last Winter.

 

I put the collar around the hat and stiched it to the cover/padding. I used a special needle for this; a curved needle.


 

 



Finally I stiched on an edge. I think it's got a 60's vibe to it.

Another multicoloured beanie

When I saw some of the dresses in Elie Saabs ready-to-wear Spring Collection 2015, I knew I just had to try and crochet something in the same colours. This is the result; another multi-coloured beanie hat. And I have a feeling I'll make som more...

Statement jumper DIY

This jumper I have decorated with lace cut-out roses, adding some sparkle by stiching on sequins.

 

 

 

I used a knitted jumper I got from the sales this spring.





I bought black lace with roses which is easy to cut out.
