Sick day wasn't entirely wasted:

Bicorn hat with black grosgrain ribbon cockade embellished by a silver button


For the Adam Ant show, inspired by Vivienne Westwood's 1980 Pirates collection. The button was purchased in Norway by my mother in the 1960s - according to her these used to be worn on school uniforms and became a symbol of resistance when they were banned by the Nazis during WWII.

Another fairly simple project, using a wool felt hat blank shaped with a steam iron and online ribbon cockade instructions.

Lovely! And that bit of history that goes with the button makes it extra-special.

Glad to see that you've got your priorities right in the new place and have the sewing machine set up. :-)
