She's a flouncy, flouncy freedom priest with no name and no knowledge of her past life hence only being known as Seeker (the title given to freedom priests in our system).
The hat is my very first attempt at hat making and I'm quite pleased with it for a practice piece. The pattern is one a friend of mine made and I used the last of the buckram my gran gave me covered with corduroy. Important hat making tip - corduroy is not the best fabric for this!
The hat is trimmed with a ribbon from my stash that I think came off a box of chocolates and some peacock feathers I got in a charity shop haul ages ago.
It's lined with the same lining as the coat and has a herringbone tape band to tidy it all up.
Last but not least, I ran up a very quick unlined bag to store my notebook, water bottle and sandwich!
So there we go. Seeker looks to be a lot of fun and the kit was a nice easy make for the most part!
