"How To Trim A Hat"



One of those little books I saw mentioned, in a blog, and got from Amazon Used, An English Cottage Year.... {And btw, Amazon now has them, starting at the grand price of $0.01, if you want one, for yourself!}

'How To Trim A Hat'

Trimming a hat for a special occasion is always fun. Go into the garden and gather a handful of leaves and flowers with longish stems. Choose flowers which are not quite open. Take a straw hat and bind the leaves and flowers around the base of the crown and attach with either florist's wire or ribbon. If it is a blowy day attach two ribbons to the sides of the hat
and tie under the chin.
