Today I received the hat patterns I ordered from Lynn McMasters and so far I'm impressed. The patterns themselves are full sized, professionally printed on good quality paper. The equal of any commercial pattern. Each comes with a list of notions and supplies detailed instructions including illustrations and suggestions for how to make alterations for various types of hats. I ordered the Universal Round Brimmed Hat (tricorn, gainsborough) and a 1600-1800s Tall Hat (riding hat, french revolution 1790s hat) which now seems far more useful to me now than I first thought. The crown height and brim variations have my mind reeling with all the gorgeous hats I can now make.
As always I can't wait to start these new projects but also as always they are well down my list of things to make. For now though I will amuse myself with wistful daydreaming while reading the instructions. Kudos to Lynne for having these patterns out to me, halfway across the world is just over a week.
