While I'd normally cringe at the thought of cutting up a vintage item (even the thought of altering something for a better fit sends a shiver of guilt down my back :)), it's only fair to admit certain things are sadly beyond salvation. And those are the items that should indeed be cut up and reused to create yet again a thing of beauty.
Speaking of which I have come across this lovely shop on Etsy called fadedsplendour selling among other things gorgeous little hats and fascinators crafted from vintage materials. Very affordable and very cute! Have a peek! Here are some of my favorites.
I am really flattered that you have blogged about my hats... I am always so afraid that when I make something people wont 'get it'.... So its nice to get a compliment from somebody with good vintage taste. The fair isle sweater I used was total wrecked, huge holes all over...broke my heart as the pattern was amazing..
