Red Hats

Anybody here a member of Red Hats? I recently signed up. I went to my
first function. It was a PJ party at a diner....yes we wore our night
clothes....hehehehe! I met the Queen Mom in the hospital. She also has
breast cancer and finished her last chemo. She encouraged me to join. We
both have been good friends since. I am just looking for a cool unique hat.
Right now I have a red fishing hat!

Our Florida sister is a Red Hat person and she is serious about it. I
rather imagine that if I got arrested for something dastardly I'd have to
sit in jail until her Red Hat social schedule was clear before she'd come to
my rescue. A thought on making an extraordinary red hat - take a stretchy
turban from your bald days and cover it effusively with petals from red silk
flowers. You can attach them with stitches, hot glue, safety pins -
anything that will work. I made one years ago for a cancer-survivor buddy
and it was quite stunning (to say the least). Polly

Some of the hats they had on...and I had my generic fishing hat...I think I
will get something with a brim on it.
Our next outing is game day at this ladies house....she is having all kinds
of tables set up. I do not know how to play poker so if one of the tables
is poker I am out.
I should put on my life list to play poker next to ballroom dancing.

IIRC Vogue patterns, the last time I looked which was a couple of years ago,
had some vintage felt hats that didn't look too hard to make. And I bet you
could get some double-sided fusible stabilizer (as in Fabric Bowls) and
adapt those patterns to something more summery than felt. It would be
washable too!

Do you have to wear the same hat to every meeting? Or can you have a
selection of them? Thinking red straw hat for summer maybe felt or 'sateen'
for winter. Don't box yourself in with just one if you don't have to. I can
just see you having fun coming up with quite a selection of them.

Butterfly (made Firefly one when she went thru chemo (winter) out of a heavy
sateen. Her teddy bear wears it now
