I'd love to give this a try sometime to spruce up some of the cheaper or non-vintage hats that I've got lying around.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37283074763870376412016-09-18T01:52:48.010-07:002016-09-18T01:52:48.010-07:00You are so very welcome, my sweet friend.

The chiffon only needs to get slightly warm before it starts curling, and you only need to hold it over the flame for a few seconds: the fabric doesn't get so hot as to burn you. Just make sure the fabric is about 6 inches away from the flame and you should be good! I hope that you try it out and are able to make some embellishments of your own :)<br />-NicoleNicolehttp://www.theartyologist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60865320584425658162016-09-06T11:08:05.412-07:002016-09-06T11:08:05.412-07:00I have an old pillbox hat that I dont wear because...I have an old pillbox hat that I dont wear because it needs some revamping.. these are some great ideas.Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-54412345544622220062016-09-06T10:36:45.166-07:002016-09-06T10:36:45.166-07:00What a great way to jazz up something you otherwis...What a great way to jazz up something you otherwise wouldn't wear!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful inspiring hat idea. I think it is fantastic that you sew your own "vintage" clothing.
