I'm looking for any suggestions please. I'm going to a 50th birthday on 29th and I'm going to make a hat of some kind. I want to make it with lots of detail, big but not too big. The lady it's for is a very smart lady, always looking good but with a mad sense of humour.

At the moment I am thinking of a bowl of fruit on a hat with hat section made from weaving 160's, although this isn't really that exciting. My mind is ticking but I can't think at the moment, maybe over used and exausted this month ;)

I'll post a picture of my final design when I make it. Just looking for ideas at the moment please. Many thanks

Billy

How about a large teddy bear sat in a basket (as if it's in a hot air balloon.) You could then have it holding flowers or hearts. The number 50 could be on the side of the basket like in the cake hat above.

Some nice ideas, thank you. At the moment I'm still going with the fruit basket, but I like Noodle's idea of calling it a 'Fruitcake hat' :)

Cheers

Here's the hat I ended up making, a 'Fruitcake Hat' (thanks for the suggestion Noodles). I'll try and get a photo of the person wearing it tonight.
