Alright, now that I know about your tribe, I'm making good use of it. I'm working on halloween costumes for Hubby, Baby and Meeself. Do you know where I can get the base for muskateer hats (two adults and one toddler size)? I want to dress them meeself with plumes, etc, but I need a base. And, yes, I'm looking for 'thrifty'....
Last year, Baby wore a lamb costume and I wore Little Bo Peep. I have photos of that somewhere.... I'll see if I can find them to post for a hoot.

Re: Looking for hats
Thu, August 30, 2007 - 11:00 PMThe easiest thing I have found....and I shouldn't really give my secret away...is those big straw sunhats. secure a wire around the rim and cover the hat in whatever fabric you choose. The wire is so that it will keep the lovely jaunty angle that a cavalier hat must have. Go crazy with the decor and the large lovely plume! VV boutique is a great place for "thrifty".
And just so you know you can zigzag the wire on with the widest stitch. I do as little by hand as possible. Lots of glue though...lots. : )
Since joining Emerald Pig, I have found all manner of wonderful re-usable items at thrift stores. You know what they say..."one man's trash is another man's treasure", or woman in this case. : ) -

(I bet they even make sunhats in toddler sizes for baby girls. Keep yer eyes peeled!)
My search begins! -
