Did you know, that haberdasher once referred to one who deals in hats and caps, as well as the small goods and notions that it currently references? Perhaps Acorn Cottage ought be called a haberdashery as well as an artisanry...
In taking photos of my new pinafore, my denim sunhat appeared rather faded. On perusing the history of my sewing projects, that hat is a bit more than eight years old, being first made for Me-Made-May back in 2010. My other fabric hat, the brown one trimmed in black, is also nowhere near new, as it was made back in 2012.

as they looked when new...
My brown hat has faded to more of a cafe au lait color now, the feathered pin (from a long-ago Oregon Country Fair back in the 80's) has gradually lost most of the feathers, and my denim hat is much faded and has had the brim reinforced with rows of machine stitches, (and is still a lot more floppy than in its heyday). While they are both still entirely wearable, impressive given how often they are worn, and how many years they have been in service, it might be enjoyable to give some thought to a new hat or two, and what pieces in the fabric resource center might be best for such a project. Hats don't take vast amounts of fabric or time to create, and are a staple accessory in my wardrobe.
