Wizard Hat Redux. Sometimes it's worth letting projects marinate a bit on the back shelf...After its labor-intensive creation in December (@wizardtode ), I wasn't quite sure what this hat needed to feel "finished". Now that I've trimmed and hemmed the brim, stitched down some of the pleats, and added a hat band, it finally feels ready...But ready for what? 😜 . . .#felting #wool #make #sitchersofinstagram #handmade #fantasycostume
Note to self: Metal hardware is nearly always worth the extra $$ when it comes to longevity! I could wear these Clarks boots for days on end, but their comfort became neglible when the original zipper gave out (on both boots within a week). Time for a metal upgrade! #leather #makedoandmend #shoerepair #illjustdoitmyself #clarks #clarksforlife
