Canvas Cloche- Franny- Green

Description

Franny is the perfect everyday walk through town, down a country lane or work in the garden kind of hat. Made from hand dyed cotton canvas and lined with a pretty cotton print, this 1920s inspired flapper style sun hat will have you doing the Charleston in the supermarket aisles. Each hat is made to order, so be sure to let me know your head size. (instructions below). Please provide me with your actual head size and I will make the hat a tiny bit bigger. This hat is best worn with a bit of wiggle room, so that it stays cool in the sun. Because the hat is quite deep it will not want to blow off your head.

The brim measure 3″ at its widest point.

The flowers on the hat are held on with two pin backs, so the flowers can be moved around the hat or you can wear the hat plain and wear the flowers as a brooch. I can make these pansies in many different colours, so please ask if you would like a different colour.

This hat is meant to be played with. The brim can be turned up or down. The hat also looks very cute with the flowers pinned in the back. The flowers can be worn alone as a brooch and the hat is equally adorable unadorned. To wash the hat simply remove the flowers and hand wash in cool water.

I dye the fabric myself using high quality fibre reactive dyes. I sew the hat on my great grandmother’s 1910 Singer treadle sewing machine. The flowers are made from hand dyed organic cotton and hemp jersey fabric.

Measuring Instructions:

To measure your head, take a soft tape measure and measure just above the eyebrows, above the tips of the ears and around the largest part of the back of your head. Try to not let the tape measure swoop down towards your neck. If you don’t have a soft tape measure you can use a string and then carefully measure the string. Repeat this a few times to be sure that you keep getting the same number.
