I know that summer is not the time to make and sell felted hats! However, I am creating and listing lots of new felted hats and cloches right now because I am expecting a baby in November, and I won't have time to make hats then. My felted hats sell like crazy in the fall and winter at craft shows, galleries, fairs and on Etsy. I strongly encourage potential customers to buy a hat NOW if they really like it, because it is very likely that it will be gone in a couple of months. Although I make custom order hats and try to duplicate what my customers want, I can't guarantee that the hat they want will turn out like the one that got sold under their nose!
By the way, if you see a hat in my shop that you love, but it is too large or too small for your head, please don't give up on that particular hat, since I can stretch or shrink it for you.
