A similar basic hat was offered on QVC a couple years ago, in ecru. I added some tatted ecru lace, so it would "go" with most clothing. Tatting is not likely to wrinkle as much as some other laces, and is stronger. Hat is fun to wear, and folds flat (inside out) for packing. It was with me at the Caen OIDFA Congress last Summer.. This described tatted piece is called "Frivolite Pin" on _www.tattedwebs.com_ (http://www.tattedwebs.com) . It is in two shades of ecru. Elaine is always overly-busy, selling at juried craft shows. She does not need publicity from me. I take Elaine's small tatted items with me to give as gifts at lace conventions. Yes! Yes! I know that OIDFA focuses on only bobbin and needle laces. However, noone has ever turned down a pretty gift of tatting.

.....exploring the site a little further produced this "packable lace hat": http://www.victoriantradingco.com/store/catalogimages/1a/i18783.html ..... most of us have enough odd bits of lace to produce for ourselves? .....At least, I think I could make one for myself if I knew how to fasten together the fabric crown and the straw brim . . . Any thoughts? It would be a great way to give new life to old hats that have suffered a little damage.
