Just finished a sewn beret, no pics as yet. I didn’t have a pattern as such, but it’s a very simple kind. Basically, gather a large circle into a band. It makes a floppy, artists beret. I have had a piece of orange crushed velvet in stash for at least a decade, and decided to use this together with small amounts of brick coloured silk duppion as trim. There was enough left over velvet to make a small scarf as well.

Sounds very chic!  I love hats and wear them as often as possible, but berets look awful on me.  Look forward to seeing pics  :toast:

Just taken a photo and am now having one of those debates with myself about whether or not I need to change the size of the bow it’s decorated with.
