“Olive,
Poor thing,
Sits and thinks
That it's drab.
Sure does.
Sits and sits and sits and sits and thinks
About its olive drab drab.”

Welcome to the half-way point throughout your week, and thank yew for tuning in for a hat explanation.

About a year ago I got home from living/traveling Australia for the year. Leaving for that trip I didn’t want to stop creating, so I packed an additional piece of luggage full of fabrics, hardware, threads, and some critical sewing essentials. Once established, I found a beautiful Singer Golden Touch on Gumtree, went and sent to it. This range of hats was designed from two beautiful combinations of grade-A fabrics.

textile 1: Lightweight Olive Woven Cotton

textile 2: Cream base, Scarlet / Gold / Beige / Olive Paisley

• Yew Woven Label

• Accented Front, Underbrim and Adjuster

• White 4mm Eyelets

• YKK Slide Adjuster

• Olive Thread

In the Australian winter of 2018, living in a small beachside apartment on the Gold Coast, fourteen of these beautiful olive and paisley printed hats were designed at 3 Redondo Ave, 4220, Miami.

I give yew,

OP-Redondo

That it is about to be named color of the year
By those with the nose for the new,
By the passionate f’yew.

yew.
