Historical Sew Monthly #2 Re-Use, Re-make, Re-fashion: 1900s-1930s hats?

I don't know what time peroid this is from but the brim is too long for 1930s but the crown is to large for 1910s. Ugh. So this will probaby fall under 1920s catergory.

Corset

I got my corset done on April 21st ,but, I'm finally are doing it know. I am semi happy of how it came out. But, it is comfortable. And I think I would have been happier if I got it done in one day. If I wouldn't have procrastinated on the Drawers I think I could had made most of it on Wendesday April 19th than I could have done a finished Thursday and start my hoopskirt. But, I did get over half way done that Wednesday.
