After nearly a week of work, my tatted hat prototype is finished & shock of all shocks, it actually LOOKS like a hat!
I found a vintage tatting pattern for a baby bonnet, modified it until it looks almost nothing like the source material and tatting for almost a week straight. Although I think it looks great, I think I might get some ribbon & thread it through the holes in the center of the round motifs. I was also thinking of adding a tatted flower there as well.
I'm wondering if I should list this on etsy as a custom hat available in many colors, or if I should actually make one up in black or another color. This is one of those projects that takes so long to do that I might cry if I made one up & it never sold. Not to mention the final cost has me scratching my head. If I'm being honest the cost would probably be upwards of $200, but I kind of doubt that it would sell at that price.
Any and all opinions on any of these matters are very gratefully accepted!

O. M. G. One of the most stunning things I have EVER seen. Would be gorgeous to do a bridal piece in the tatting as well.
My grandmother tats. :-)
LOVELY !!!! There is NOTHING of yours that doesn't make me salivate !!!
that's so gorgeous! i don't think i've ever seen a tatted hat.
i macrame and crochet; tatting is on my to-learn list.. you inspire me!
talk about hours and hours of painstakingly intricate work! with crafts like this, it really is difficult to charge a reasonable selling price that covers all of the time you put into it. good luck finding the happy medium!
Wow! It is beautiful. I love vintage-style hats and putting a new spin on old-style techniques. This is wonderful. Well-done!
tatting amazes me! Yours is beautiful.
That is awesome. I have tried tatting so many times with no good results. It is becoming such a lost art... you sure have it mastered ;)
OMG - I love this! You should definately sell it, although it would be extremely difficult to let something like that go due to all the work you put into it. I cannot even imagine the hours you put into it! Fabulous!
Wow, that is so pretty!
This is great!! Love your photos too...great idea with both!
just beautiful!
Make one and list it for 200--you might be surprised. One store owner I know routinely suggests that people double their prices if the work is good but not selling. I know people who would pay for it, and you only need one, right?
Wonderful!
Love this hat... I have been searching for a few patterns, simple for beginners... I am a very new tatter....
