Thanks, Catherine, I'm glad you like it. I bet it looks great on you. I never would have thought of using it to keep hair wisps back when preparing food. What a great idea. |

Hi Dot! Just wanted to let you know I made one of this on New Year's Eve, and it's marvelous! I wear it to work all the time to keep hair wisps out of my face (I work in a bakery) and I get lots of compliments on it! |

Hi Elise, thanks! I'm not too keen on ebay right now, but maybe I'll try it some time in the future. Thanks for the suggestion. |

Sorry, Vims, I just can't help myself. lol I don't think this hat is strong enough to support a brim, but that's not to say you couldn't do it. Give it a try if you want and let me know how it turns out. I'm glad you like this one. |
