Working on the hat seemed like the path of least resistance today, haha. And I got my paper roses in the mail so I now have everything I need for it! I didn't get a whole lot of actual sewing done, but I did a lot of hemming and hawing and peering at the hat while I laid various things on top of it, so it counts as productive to me!
And I did get one of my strips of organza gathered up and pinned on - the one I decide to put on the underside of the brim. Can't have too much fluff! I also wadded up some batting inside a tube of the blue taffeta...it currently looks like an idiotic "medieval" head-doughnut you see at renfairs, but I'm going to scrunch it down a bit! Hopefully it won't look quite so stupid after I scrunch it...
Pinned fluff:

Idiot head-doughnut, because I can't tell you about something like that and not give you a picture:

(Yes, it goes on top of the hat. No, I haven't lost my mind! Probably. With a puff of organza in the center I almost promise it'll look less deranged.)
