Lilianna

I asked Lili what colors she would like in her beret and she stated in her most adult voice, "black and white." She is wearing a reversible black and white beret made from old black and white jeans, and a black and white skirt.

Isabella & Francesca

Hat making is a pleasure when the customers are this cute! Isabella is wearing a red and gray beret that used to be a coat and a skirt. Francesca is wearing a pink and black beret that comes from a suit jacket and a pair of black leather pants.

Paloma

Paloma is wearing a winter cloche with a folded-up brim. Made from a vintage black cashmere coat and a frumpy red & black checkered skirt. Flip it, flip it down, turn it all around.... Add your very own pin for a custom look. Click on the photo for another angle.

Belton

Angelic Belton in his devilish hat. It is made from green and lavender felted wool sweaters, designed to keep little ears warm even during those cruel Austin winters. Click on the photo to see the details.                                                                          

Alp, aka Alpito

My nephew Alp looks handsome in his custom monogrammed hat (made from red and gray denim pants) but no amount of digital manipulation is going to make it look as if he is happy with it. Back to the sewing machine until the little tyrant is satisfied...

Teddy

This wide brimmed hat is perfect for keeping the sun out of little faces. When it is time for a nap in the stroller, flip the rim down for instant shade. My one-month old customer Jesse was unable to pose so Mr. Teddy stood in as a stunt double.

Sabine

I made this warm, wool hat for my dear friend Kisla's daughter Sabine (go to custom designs page to see Kisla's hat). One of these days, I hope to catch the elusive Sabine and snap a picture of her under this hat! All the different colors came from felted wool sweaters.
