Primitive Witch Hat

I really very seldom decorate for Halloween anymore...I like to keep things more Fall-themed so that I can keep my decorations up for a longer time. But sometimes I get an urge to make something for Halloween. And who can resist a Primitive Witch Hat? So I took the plunge and made one.

This hat is made out of felt. I stiffened the felt with some spray starch and let it dry, then repeated. (You could probably use regular fabric stiffener for this, but I didn't have any, so I used starch). Then I formed my pieces and did a little bit of sewing to put it all together. I added a bit of fiberfill on the inside to help the hat keep its shape too. I don't have a pattern for this, folks. Sorry! I was just winging it as I went along, because sometimes you just have to fly by the seat of your broom! Once the basic hat was finished I added my embellishments...some flowers, some buttons, some ribbon here and there, and a little Rusty Tin star.

So I guess I will a wee bit of Primitive Halloween decor this year after all. :)
