Dora the Fedora

May I introduce to you .... Miss Dora the stylish Fedora ....



Hat Block only used for photographic purposes ..... (cleverly) not required for construction ...



I tested this pattern for Nikki.


I'm sure it won't be called Dora - but the name has stuck for me.

This is a challenging project - especially in denim....

But, as usual, Nikki's instructions are meticulous .... and I am still in awe at the intricacies in her pattern making because there are so many subtle design considerations ... she's certainly one clever patootie!
