Gold and Cream Persian Duck "Hat"

19th Feb, 2005

I went shopping today and managed to pick up a couple of bits of brocade that should do for the head-dress for my Persian outfit. A cream floral and a gold swirly pattern for the duck hat. I got a pattern from Roxane Farabis' page and made a couple of modifications (I put some iron on interfacing in to stiffen it up). It turned out pretty well. I just have to cut and edge the chiffon for the veil and it will be done. The only thing is I might have made it a bit small on the sides, so that it doesn't stick down the sides of my head enough. But at this stage I am runnning out of time. But if I can get some nice material (I'd really like some nice orange and gold), I will make another one. They don't take long.
