Pompom...?

[mala_14]

I tried to make a pompom to trim my hat, but I was using cotton embroidery floss that I separated and it just wasn't fluffy enough. Not a total loss though. I turned the sad pompom into a flat pom-rosette-hybrid thingie/dohicky and sewed it to my hat. Now it has a decoration. :)

Too late for tassels though. That's ok. Next time.

And speaking of next time, I've been looking at fashion plates and think that a ridiculous, over-the-top, froofy, silly, what-were-they-thinking 18-teens hat is in my future. ;)

I haven't made a pom pom since I was a kid and there was no internet or TV to keep me occupied! Ah, the '70s.

Can't wait to see yours! I bet it's darling on your hat, even if it is flat.

lol I think it looks kind of neat, even if it's a bit silly. Regency bonnets had all sorts of ridiculous decorations. Now mine does too! :)

I think the pom-ette sounds wonderful! You just turned a lemon into lemonade. And I loooooove 1810's hats too. I want a huge stovepipe bonnet like mad.

Thanks! Pictures will be forthcoming of the whole ensemble. I am totally turning into a convert for wackadoodle historical styles! I don't know when it started!
