Summer is nearing an end here, so i thought i'd better make the bestest of all time summer hats so we could end my favourite season with bang shazam!! 

I only have a small amount of Walt's delicious herringbone canvas left (Pamplemousse Tea is the previous Kepp Jones hat that graced this fabrics pleasure!) another reason for making a last topnotch summery character! 
Anyways have a lil read of our Kepp Jones 'Secret Garden Jadeite' fabric history, to understand her character a lil better :: 

 -x-  Sweet Jasmine.....everyone thought she was the most humble of folk....but everyone holds a little secret in their back pocket! A gardener at heart, she had planned to make some pillows to go on her outdoor settee with this quaint fabric, but never quite had the time!! Such a mystic lil number!! Gardens, secrets + summer goodness all rolled into one! Handcrafted from my favourite reclaimed herringbone canvas, with a quaint lil back pocket flap made from Jasmines exquisite green + orange floral fabric.... all combined with jadeite handmade bias binding on her pocket + brim, makes for one serene garden inspired women's hat! 2 jadeite coloured buttons adorn her flap, whilst the lining is a delightful picnic check in a chartreuse, orange + red upcycled cotton. A perfect accessory for those who love to daydream, putz in the garden or read a good novel in the warmth of the sunshine! There is one lil 'Secret Garden Jadeite' available in our Sparky Jones Etsy boutique, with a lil more informations on sizing + shipping costs for your convenience!

Art's Trouser...

His real name was Arthur Fairmont, but his close friends called him Art. A quiet man, one who liked to read and the most loyal friend you could ever ask for. I'll be happily snipping,stitching and reconstructing these sturdy trousers of Art's into something fantabulous this week! I love getting my hands on well built goods such as these, the creases, heavy textures + bulky seams make for delicious hat making materials! I definitely have an Canadian inspired idea in mind for these earthy coloured numbers ~ wink!
