Suu's Thread-Jack

[Suu]

I'm not sure what I'm deciding on yet. But I was thinking along the lines of a bowler. My crown size is 21.5/22".

[LMNO]

Wait... is that the circumfrence?

(Typically, hats are sized by C/pi)

Which makes you about a 6 3/4 to a 7.  That sounds about right.

[Suu]

Yeah I think 7 is right. I normally don't care much for sizing, since I have a small head and nothing typically fits anyway.

[LMNO]

Wait... So, your head is too fucking small?

[Richter]

Leln could use a hat too, and we're thinking of building this into the Saturday prop acquisition / building excusion.

You may now resume your regularly scheduled flames.

[LMNO]

I'll see if I have a small bowler lying around.

[Zenpeanut]

Heh, my bowler's a 7, although it's a reasonably bright blue and on the west coast.

[Suu]

I found a 20s style bucket hat at Burlington on the cheap:


(I should be wearing it lower on my head)

I'm adding plumage to it. Lots of huge plumage, and a gaudy ass hat pin, which I will probably make today.

[Suu]

Feathers and hat pin added!

[LMNO]

Very nice!

[Iason Ouabache]

Suu the Seamstress went to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in her hat
And called it macaroni.

Now make a poem about knitting needles in a corset and you're onto something...

[Suu]

And some better shots of accessories...

Chatelaine: Scissors, thimble, threader, thread cutter, needle case, and key. Everything is functional but the key, and the clasps at the top and on the thread cutter release for use.



Necklace, camera can't focus for ass:



Bracelet: woven copper and brass chain with real sewing machine bobbins.



Garters for the corset top:

Turning water guns into little steampunk blasters with spray paint and Rub n' Buff!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

The hat is awesome!

Also, rub n buff... one of my favorite things!
