» »Beekeeper hat
My beloved husband from early childhood experienced positive emotions for insects. The little boy was especially delighted and admired by bees and bumblebees. The boy has grown. But the love for the "striped fly" remained. Our first hive appeared as soon as we bought a summer house in one of the most picturesque and wonderful places in Belarus. To care for bees, many special devices were needed. To buy all the devices in our family budget was not just money. For many many years I was fond of cutting and sewing, watched fashion shows and read glossy magazines of leading fashion houses. I decided to sew a beekeeper’s hat and thereby save a decent amount of money.

You will need:
  • fabric with natural fibers (ideal dense linen)
  • yellow and black (add creativity and positive to your life)
  • two metal hoops of the required diameter
  • a piece of mesh (the structure is dense and transparent)
  • lace
  • lace fasteners
  • elastic or Velcro small piece
  • free time
  • your desire and desire to make an individual beautiful thing

My husband will spoil my first honey by the hat.
R.S: For the New Year, I sewed a wizard’s hat to my beloved son, for example, as I wrote in part 1 in this article. I decorated it with colored rhinestones. I embroidered with beads. Everything turned out fine. We got for the best carnival costume sweet present from Santa Claus. My baby was pleased to catch curious looks and listen to compliments from children and teachers. It is unfortunate that the photographs were not preserved.
