I have seen those purses made from "bras" but until now I have never seen a hat made from a bra nor seen anyone who would wear one. That is until now, I just saw a bunch of pics submitted by another poster. It got me to thinking, if they make the hat from a bra do they make their purses from the panties? LOL
BUT-- can we make a bra from a hat?
Haven't made a purse yet but the hat is easy Cut the straps off and the back hooks from back strap This is what I did:
I sewed the center of the bra closed Then I took some beaded fringe and sewed it around the "front" of the hat Then I took the back strap and finished the ends Added Velcro to the spot I need it to close in the back I added some feathers and a couple of pins It is cute I think to make the purse you would probably remove the back strap and sew the cups together Leave the top open and add a snap This will let you "close" it. Use the straps for the strap of the purse Sounds logical Guess I will have to go try it I bought a $4.00 bra at the Dollar Store. Have fun with it.
I know your comment is ancient, but... isn't the center of the bra already sewn closed? And which part of the bra is the "front" if the hat?
I think this is a great idea. I can envision a matching purse and hat, possibly a beach bag from those that have larger cups.
