Thankfully, I somehow bumbled my way back to where I had been, with the added bonus of everything else that was not crucial still being organized and tidy. I do not have the foggiest clue as to how this came about, I am just excessive grateful that it did!!
Anyway, I am going to finish up by posting this fantastic tutorial I found today ~ do not ask me how as I can not for the life of me remember. I am a chronic link clicker, so I end up in on the remotest sites sometimes! This was one of them, but boy, it was a gem.
Oh, and please do not be misled by the title ~ I have never heard of a CanCan hat, but I do know what a boater looks like, so please go visit Violet’s site if you want to find out how to make your own.
Diy CanCan Hat Tutorial ^_^

I have been wanting a boater, but all the online sources where oh so expensive {!} and to add misery to woe, I have never seen a hat like these in Australian shops anywhere ~ vintage or no! But now, thanks to this delightful DIY, I am on the hunt for the perfect straw hat to convert in the perfect boater.
xox,

*Edit ~ I have removed the full tutorial at the request of Violet. I appreciate her request, although I would like to note that full credit as well as links to her site were provided with the post. I only wish to promote the work of other fantastic bloggers I found out there, nothing else. Thank you for your time. b.
