I really like the look of the 1920's cloche hat. Recently I found a "reproduction" pattern for them. I have been playing with my wool pieces, trying to make one that fits me "just right."
My first effort is made from an aqua and purple wool felted sweater. I love this sagy green and the purple is okay.
I had to trim the brim and I added a flower to embellish it. I am not too sure I am done with this yet. I think some more embellishing might be in order...just have to figure out what that will be.
The hat is a bit too long. The crown does not sit right down on my head like I wanted it to do.
This is a very deep purple upcycled piece of wool. Nice, it almost looks dark navy blue. I took an inch off the bottom of the crown pieces.
It fits me much better. I need to block it now and add the embellishments.
I am going to try another one soon...
I think the felted wool fabric makes perfect cloches!
And, am also playing with rocks, lol. I know, nothing new in that, he he.

I like the style of the cloche hat also. I think your gray one is my favorite.
I love cloche hats. (Have you ever watched the PBS series House of Eliot? You will die for their hats! You can get it on netflix)
I tried to wear one once but it kept hitting the back of my neck and popping up at the front brim. hehe.
I love this style too and have tried on a few at various stores but they always come down over my nose. I never realized I have a small head. lol
I was told the other day I am "off my rocker" because I do so much with rocks. I thanked her.
love the hats especially the first one.
