Milliners are underpaid (or "How to make a pill-box hat")

My in-laws celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss last weekend.  My mother-in-law, Donna, wanted a simple pill-box hat to match her dress.  Armed with the knowledge that everything that IS was made by someone, we set out to create our own.

So ANGRY!

He he, not really!  But we DID make Angry Bird Plushies from the tutorial over at Obsessively Stitching!

Of course we had to put a recycled spin on it - we used outgrown clothes
(scavenged from the to-be-garage-saled box)

We used a mechanical pencil to turn the feathers

While tearing t-shirts into strips to use as stuffing, Calvin felt like Bear Grylls in the dessert.

The one on the left is Jordan's, the one on the right is Calvin's.  They did most of the work themselves!
