I took a perfectly lovely ren gown and pirate hat and turned them into FABOULOUS Zombie Garb for Shore Leave N.O. 2010

Absolutely horrific!  Well done!!!

By the way, MG, I saw you posted pics of your chartreuse tall hat, but do you have a shot that shows the fiber-optics on? I think folks'd love to see that.

Hello Iain!  I don't have any pics with the fiber optics on.  It's always too bright and my camera doesn't have a decent setting to get the colors without the flash.  Maybe Deadbishop can take one this season with his super-duper camera.  LOL

I finally have made some hast to add to the thread!



I'm kinda pissed about the white thread around the brim...apparently the serger I used was crap since the threads loosened up so much...
I can't find any pics of my floppy pirate hat or my gypsyish hat...

Reviving the hats thread!  The fest season is full on, folks!  Let's see those hats!!!


mustard yellow and teal "tall hat" with jester tabs, 2 bundled peacock feathers, 1 teal ostrich plume and 4 tan bundles

What a great hat! It looks so fun!

This is my pirate hat. It was costume made by Renee, who is a very talented young hat maker (http://www.artfire.com/users/eccentricadventurerssupplyco). I wanted something that had flare, but didn't want a lot of feathers. This is the end result.

Front view:



Right Side: Yes, I have a little sign that says "Knock Knock." A lady at a booth suggested it a few weeks earlier and I couldn't say no.



Left side view: The only change I made was to the original button, which wasn't quite what I was looking for. So, after a trip to Joan's and about 20 minutes of work, I had a button I liked a bit more. It also has a nice feather pin.

Yay another pirate that has Drabbits.  I'll have to show this to the pink pirate.  You might have inspired him to get a new hat.


MG you are still wonderful with hats.  I swear I'm going to make one for something using the fiber optics.

I made a new hat for the fairy baby.  Unfortunately she wouldn't keep it on for pictures, so my middle girl is modeling it.  =)

This was taken of me at the Yellowstone Highland Games in Billings, Mt. The festival started on Friday evening, so a small contingent of us- myself included- went on Thursday so we could get our village set up before the rest of the group arrived Friday afternoon. There were 4 of us. The other three went to get lunch after setup was complete, and I stayed behind as security (the festival took place in a zoo, and there were lots of people milling around!) Festival policy said that there was to be no camping out on site, but nothing in the policy said anything about no napping on site! So I took advantage of that small loophole, only to find that some smarta$$ got ahold of my camera and took a picture of me! I opened one eye just in time to catch him! So anyways, this is my hat- my green Highland bonnet.



Do not disturb sleeping Ren Scots! We get grumpy... and we're usually armed, and good with said arms! That's probably why the SCA won't fight us any more...

My new pirate ensemble had to have a new hat, of course!  There is much I would like to change about it but it was a good start.     This photo courtesy of the lovely Lady De Laney-much thanks!

[LadyFae]

Ok, so to MG-ify it more it needs more feathers and LOTS of SHINEYS!!!!!!!  =D

[LadyFae]

Got the baby to wear that hat for a little bit!  =)



Do we like this as the front better?



And this as the back?
