I have finally finished today! Yay :) As this is my salute to Marc Bolan's Mad Hatter on the cover of The Slider album (which was a stitched together leather hat pictured a few posts back):
I added decorative stitching to echo the functional stitches.. up the back |
And around the inside of the crown - and a little daisy flower .. just because :) |
I cut the hat band from a lovely slate blue leather and paired it with some nickel black stud rivets (screw back) |
I love the studs :) |
In the song he says:
'and when I'm sad
I slide'
I did toy with the idea of embroidering the lyric on the hat.. what do you think? Lyric or no? It's 'Slider' enough without anything that obvious isn't it? I think I may crumple the crown a little.. see how that looks.
This is a happy hat :) Short version to follow soon hopefully.

It's beautiful and perfect just as it is. Love the colour blend, and the hand stitching.
