Made in red, gold and white, from my own patterns, this measures about 12,5 cm i diameter at the widest, and a bit over 10 cm in height. I actually wore this to the company Christmas lunch last year, and it got some attention.

This is a full size hat (although completely round), measuring about 54 cm (21,2 inches) in circumference at the narrowest. It’s the first hat I’ve ever made, and it was a birthday present to SilverSerpent’s Maria, showing it off here: My first hats

Personally, I think it looks awesome with her steampunk outfit. ^^

The hat is made from scratch, from my own patterns, as is a lot of the decor.

Update, for the coming Halloween. I’m still letting one of my pumpkins model in my homemade Halloween mini-hat, but I’m showing some new pictures of it too. The hat is the first mini-hat I ever made, from black wool, orange satin and a bunch of decor in black, orange and green. It measures about 10,5 cm i height and the brim about 12,5 cm in diameter. Made from my own patterns.

I just have to show off the first two hats I’ve ever made – from scratch, I might add (with many thanks to Sofia for the tips on how to shape them). These are not hats I’ve bought and decorated, they are handmade from my own design and patterns, as is most of the decor.

The bigger one was made as a birthday present to SilverSerpent’s own Maria, who did a great job of incorporating it into her steampunk outfit. Anyone who attended Kontrast – Swecon 2012 in Uppsala surely remembers it.

The other one I made smaller, and with a more modest decor, but then again, it was intended for a more modest outfit, namely the sort of victorian one I wore on the first day of Kontrast.
