Inspired by a Fabricland video, I made a rabbit fur pillbox hat to help keep my noggin warm this season.

Measuring, cutting, and assembling took about 3 days — I worked on it when my post-surgery meds didn’t have me drowsy or sleepy.

Rabbit pelts x2, Medium interfacing sheets x2, 0.5m silk fabric, sewing needle, beading needle, embroidery needle, embroidery thread, grey cotton thread, muslin (for inner label). To sew the silk together and to the interface, I pulled several strands of silk thread fraying from the fabric and used a very thin beading needle.
