SOLD: handsewn Viking 6-panel hat
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 1:48 am
I made this hat as an exercise in handsewing, for practice before I start making a few tunics and a tent (I'm trying to get away from using a machine). It turned out nice, but I don't really need it, and I figure someone on here might be able to give it a better home.
It's made from blue coat-weight wool and sewn completely by hand with hand-spun wool thread. It fits my 23" head comfortably.
I'd like $20 + $3 s/h (conus).
The hat on my head.
The outside of the hat.
The inside of the hat, showing my hand stitching. I didn't finish the raw edges, because this wool is pretty fulled, and doesn't unravel easily (I know because I tried to pull out threads from some extra fabric to stitch it with, and they didn't want to come free).
