I've always loved hats (in fact I have quite a collection) and I'm sad that I don't see enough of them atop many heads anymore.  That's why when I saw a photo of Gwen Stefani stepping out with her fantastic fedora, I got excited - maybe hats will make a comeback after all!  If you're interested in making a fedora for yourself, there is a fee tutorial available at eHow and a sewing pattern for purchase at Pattern Studio.  If crochet is more your style, try this vintage pattern or follow these instructions to create you own felted variety.  If you prefer to refashion a vintage hat, check out Eugenia Kim's Saturday Night Hat - there's an entire chapter devoted to the subject! 

Moreover, on Friday Rob and Corinne released How to Make a Hat Mold with Victor Osborne!  Check it out for more on how to make your own!
