Hat and blouse from repurposed fabrics

Newsboy-styled hat with an eight-panel crown, consisting of alternating panels of white lace atop solid burgundy and green, with panels that were cut from patchwork fabric that was patterned in dark green, deep red and off-white. The hat band is dark green batik and the brim is white lace over green, dominated by a length of embroidered burgundy flowers on white fabric. The same embroidered trim decorates the front V-neck and center-panel bottom hem of a tunic arranged beneath the hat. The center-front panel of the shirt is dark green batik, and the sides and back of the shirt are in a patterned greenish-gold.

My latest hat and blouse creations repurpose fabrics from other uses. Lace and embroidered trim are from a now-retired blouse, and the patchwork fabric is from a computer cover. I love the way that the patchwork fabric, in its rich dark green and burgundy, work with the white lace and the trim.
