Emilia and Philip with their new hats
My most grateful customers, here you can see Emilia and Philip wearing their new hats:
And here is the cloche of Emilia while on the block. It’s a 5 piece puzzle block, and all went dandy, including unblocking (a miracle how when you pull out the middle piece the whole thing collapses and you can take out one piece at a time) until I folded the bottom edge in, and it buckled!! there was too much felt!! It was supposed to fold in nicely but it didn’t and I had a hart time shrinking the felt so that it stayed flat… I’m thinking of modifying the block shaving off the extra wood, so that the next time it will work properly.
Oh Christina, Wonderful hats. Fantabulous customers. Emilia looks so stylish in the fetching red bird adorned hat. Philip so suave in his swell bowler.

Hallo Cristina,
Briljant! Zo weggelopen uit een boek van Evelyn Waugh! To quote the great author:”Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction”
Groeten aan Peter

Bedankt iedereen!! Thank you everyone!!! Gracias a todos!!!
Yes Jaap, they do look a little bit like Emma Peel and John Steed (by the way The Avengers are one of my favorite series!!).
Or, as Hans says, they could very well have stepped out of an Evelyn Waugh! Wonderful quote, Hans! 🙂
The truth is those kids have great style!
