Hi, Thank you for all your help and advice on my first straw hat. I'm still hoping to surprise someone with the dressed doll, so I won't post the whole outfit until the project is finished, but I'm too excited about finishing the hat not to show it to you.

I"m trying to work up the courage to try to reduce the fray-check stain on the bow, I wish I had hidden my stitches in the lining. Thing I'm still having the most trouble with is exaggerating details either because I can't make them small enough or because I want them to be apparent. The topline of the hat should have been straighter, the brim is too big, etc. But I'm still pleased with it for a first try! Thank you again! Lauren Lauren M.
