Someone at the DMC meet was talking to someone else about how to make a strawhat and I said I had a link and I just digged it up ^^

Lovely. Thanks Hun.

Your welcome ^^

>.> This looks like a horribly fun project..
And especially now, I can't think of better weather for a straw hat..
*grabs at her boys*

I'll post pics when I get to this little project.. >:3

Yus, please do....

I was thinking that as fun as it would be with mortified boys in straw hats, it would actually really suit Ryn in one of the little blue summer dresses she has.
The mission has been accepted!
Tomorrow I'll be heading into town to hunt out some hat-making supplies!
A long shot, but could anyone think of where one could be able to acquire doll-sized hat straw?
Honestly can't think of anywhere off the top of my head, I'd rather avoid spending too too much online on the stuff, especially as we're still weak against the euro.. >.>

Oh Kara....mau and I are going to Town today...you have my mobile number if you want to meet us....Either C&H Fabrics or fabric Land...but I would say your best bet is to have a look on Ebay....( Hah! or you could gather some straw from teh Hossies?)
ETA:mau's poorly so we aren't going to Town today, but we can all meet up for another day?

Right, thanks Mich!
I thought briefly about fabric-land but I keep forgetting about old C&H as I tend to avoid them and their mega prices like the plague! LOL
I would imagine that it could very possibly be something they carried. :B

HAH I was thinking about that having watched them make the hat-straw on Victorian Farm. Mwahahaha~

^^ Meeting up at some point would be mega awesome, actually. I'll keep an ear out for next time if it's okies!
And hoping mau is feeling better soon! :<

Whelpz, town proved fruitless which was unfortunate so I've ordered in some straw braid.
Now the waiting game begins~

You can get liddle straw hats off eBile. They are dirt cheap. I think about £1 each. I'll get a pic of the twins in theirs in a mo'.

Ahhh, the evils of eBay!
I'd love to see a pic though, Mau.
I think I must just be looking for even more ways to procrastinate from more important tasks like sorting out all the shite I've stashed in the attic.. Hat-Making! Skor!

I really want a straw hat for Evie ;0; I think it would so cute with her yellow summer dress

>:'D
Straw arrived the other day!
Let the project commence!
(Even though it's pants weather for straw-hats now. :<)

Ooohh take progress pics as you go eh?

^^ Shall do!
Also, did you get the texty and contact details I texted you, Mich?
