This pattern (along with most of my earlier work) was retired in the summer of 2022. However, it may be available for a few days once or twice a year. Read on for details!

In the summer of 2022, I realized that maintaining a back catalog of hundreds of patterns was kind of overwhelming. I couldn’t do it and still release new things. So I took my old patterns down so I could keep doing new work.

Since then, a handful of my favorites have come back, and lovely new things have come out. But the vast majority of the old patterns are retired and will no longer be generally available.

However, enough folks have asked about some old favorites that I’m planning to make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year (most likely in late spring and then again in the fall around Thanksgiving).

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available, and you’re welcome to grab it!
• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available.
• If you want to hear when the retired patterns will be available, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

For a week’s stay at a gay country house, a young woman will find herself in need of no less than three hats—one a prettily trimmed walking and traveling hat; one … for golfing, boating, or picnicking; and one of more delicate construction suitable for use with light afternoon frocks, for tea parties, etc.

Perhaps I can save you a bit of room in your trunk by offering a hat that can be worn several different ways. Both sides of this fabric look lovely, so you can wear it with either side facing out. Try it with the brim folded up for a closer fit or with the brim unfolded for a bit of slouch. With all those options, it might just be enough to see you through a whole week without reinforcements.
