A cute felt Valentine's Day pillbox hat.

I was in Disney World for Valentine's Day and I knew what I was going to wear, so I made a hat to match the outfit ahead of time. I got a lot of comments on it in the parks. The telephone booth picture is taken at Epcot. This hat is a blocked hat, meaning it doesn't have any seams in it, except for where the lace trim is sewn onto the bottom edge. The arrow pin is vintage, given to me by my grandma. The hat in the main picture is featured with a matching brooch. It's held on the head with bobbie pins inserted in two tiny holes on each side of the hat. I'll make a how-to if you folks really want me to... :)
