My second flat cap completed. I adore the look of this one - the buttons and pleats at the side are so cute! It was a good idea to make another flat cap after the first, I felt like I knew what I was doing. The fabric this one's made from was lovely to work with too; it's a boiled wool which didn't fray like the soft cord did. It's quite thick, and I interfaced it so it would be quite a stiff hat. The lining is a patterned, silky feeling fabric with a greyish sort of hue to the other colours, so it matches really well. And those buttons! Adorable, aren't they?
I'm so happy with how this cap turned out, and Chrissie must've been too 'cause it's in the window!
By the way - I love Chrissie's vintage style mannequins, and all the bits and bobs around the shop. After two weeks I'm feeling good about the next six months. I'm finding out about how Chrissie runs the business, which is great because one day I'd love to run my own ethical fashion label. Working here is making me super excited to be interning for a year, then finishing uni, and then (hopefully) getting my dream career.
