Okay, well, I made this hat a while ago and just about everyone that has seen it loved it. The name was inspired but "the Durban July" because it is a dress up smartly and look great type of thing, so when I made it my sister said "that is so worthy of the Durban July!" and so the name stuck, just we shortened it, so it is called the DJ hat. And I have been wanting to blog it for a while, but I have not had a modle for it, until one of my best friends (Adelaide) came and tried it on for fun and she looked great in it and it looked perfect with the dress she was wearing. So while we were looking at bees in the garden my little sister took some photos and they were really cool, so then we did a photo shoot. My sister took LOADS of cool photos, but I picked some of my favorites:
