I love the intense 'I've got a sewing machine and I know how to use it!" look.

Nice job!

I gotta ask a clarification question, though...

I was always given to understand that berets, tam-o-shanters and Balmorals were basically the same hat, EXCEPT:

A beret has no band, simply edging around the base of the "disk."
A tam is like a beret, with the addition of a toorie.
A Balmoral is like a tam, with the addition of a short band below the disk.

Which would make me name your hat a Balmoral.

That's what I think I know, anyway -- but I've gotten in trouble before, thinking I know stuff. Whatever you call it, it looks a good job. What's your next one?

Somebody want to clear up the taxonomy here?

:ootd:
