Inspired by some the hats designed for the movie The Dutchess , I recently decided to turn my 13" low crow straw hat from Bradley Company of the Fox into a watteau.  After adding to my ostrich feather collection by a trip to Hobby Lobby's floral dept, I started digging through my collection of trims to see what might be suitable.  In preparation for making my silk sacque back gown (still in the works) I bought some gold colored velvet trim at JoAnn Fabrics.  Since I wanted to make sure the hat would eventually match the gown I started from there and added the rest.  I had found the pale pink ribbon at Hobby Lobby and instantly fell in love.  Then I went looking for flowers, which was not easy since I had a particular look in mind, but I found these at JoAnn's as well.  Finally came the lace trim.  I was hesitant to use the kind I had on hand since I had purchased it years ago for another project that I still haven't started and really wanted use the backside of it.  Since I couldn't find anything with the same look in the extensive collection of lace trims at JoAnn's, I decided to go with it and hope I find something to replace it when I finally get to that other project.  Side note, I did not glue anything down on this hat in case I want to remake it in the future (I used all needle and thread).
