Anthony's hat for his black mage costumes is done! Very exciting. I was a little nervous about making this hat, but in the end it turned out well, I think.

Clearly, that's not him, but I'll get a pick of him in the hat yet!

The hat only took an hour to draft, cut and sew. In addition to being a breeze to make, you only need about a yard of 72" felt to make it (I got lucky and found a remnant at Jo Ann's – 50% off!), so this is super cheap too (especially because around this time they put all the felt on sale for about $2ish/yd).

Anyone interested in a tutorial?
