Has anyone else had their post whisked off for moderation for days? I spent time loading it up and am still waiting. I've also tried to load a post to my vendor page with the same result... What gives??

After some trial and error I managed to sew this cap. Used and old pair of herringbone pants and a chambray shirt for the lining. No machine was used just needle and thread.
I started of with a pattern for a one piece 8 dart hat, that didn,t came out rough. I couldn,t get a one piece pattern out of the herringbone fabrick so decided on a 8 piece hat. It was fun to do.
I wrapped some fabric around a nickel for the button on top

That would look great with a blue serge suit. What a nice cap!

I've tried posting several times in the last week and they all disappeared 'for moderation', but hopefully it's fixed now.

Here is my first all-straw cap: The Argonne Summer Straw! Featuring super-cool Thai handwoven hemp straw.

WOW,very nice,Keith.

I saw that one on FB and decided I need to start saving for one. Looks like a great summer cap.

Early 1900 Ticking Fabric Custom from Simond's for me today! Thank you for the comments on the Mister Freedom Cap! I am sucker for Hickory Stripe Fabric!

 

[1mach1]

Wow! Looks great. Love it!

 

[howardeye]

Wow! Looks great. Love it!

Thanks. I gave him extra fabric if you are interested he might have some left. It was from late 1800's early 1900's from a mattress cover!
