Another hat I'm really not sure I made...  More sort of flung together, and nailed down!

   

For all the gory details:

I wish all my hats looked that good when flung together!

[Kate XXXXXX]

Giggle...  Thank you.

This one is a dog's breakfast of hand and machine sewing, gluing and fusing.  I didn't quite resort to staples and nails, but it was a close call...   

[LadyShadow]

And I was starting to think you used Liquid Nail on it.  Dang it...  Still looks great though.

[Kate XXXXXX]

Hot glue gun!     And I got Himself to do that bit!   

Thank you.  It was a fun project.

Sweet hat Kate! I think I might have to make one of those De Gaul-esque kepis for my steampunk character's informal uniform.

I've never posted it here, but here's the dress uniform for Kapitan von Grelle:



Last year at the same convention.

LOVE IT!

[Genievea Brookstone]

WoW Pipere that is amazing!

Fantastic steam punk!  Over the top and off the charts!  Love the attitude too!

[Kate XXXXXX]

Wow!  Love it - especially the hat!  Did you make that one yourself?  Love the feathers.

[Pipere]

Yep, I did- it's a cardboard base covered in wool felt (and vinyl for the visor). The thick plume I bought at Feathers for Pleasure at Michigan Renaissance Festival.

Nicely put together, Pipere.

Steampunk is a genre that cannot be done wrong no matter what!!  HUZZAH!!!

[LadyElizabeth]

That's one of the best Steampunk outfit I've ever seen!!!  Wonderful job!
