Thanks...
I'm still waiting on lining for the Navy Fedora to arrive, so I'm getting started on a black one. I haven't used this block before - its always interesting to get acquainted! No idea what trim I'll use on this one - maybe just black on black but seriously I'm in love with that cream ribbon & I...
Not finished yet but here's some work In progress shots of my current project - a dark navy Fedora with cream trim. The pic of the trim is just to show color - I haven't swirled the ribbon or anything. I have matching ribbon coming In 7/8" - I may also bind the edge in cream...
