Demand for Hatz has been so constant that I committed to new block, then set about to improve my millinery skills. As a result we have three blocks to work with; 6”, 8” and 10” Hatz. Variety enough for any head. Easy enough for anyone to make. With a multitude of ways to change and decorate them, the joy in making these blocks becomes quickly apparent. Make your hats tall, regular or short. Round off the body or leave it flat. Turn the brim up or turn it down. Include a hat band or leave them plain. Trim with ribbonz, bowz, rosez or buttons. Now place these designer delights on hat boxes, float them in a block, stack them on each other or perch them on hat stands or heads. Instructions are included for Hat Standz. Perhaps theme your Hatz blocks – from a day at the beach, a day at the races to every Mad Hatters tea party in between. I’m not a hat wearer myself but I secretly look forward to playing ladies in the future.
