A ball cap I had a while and made the embellishment on an embellisher machine a woman who was briefly in my sewing club let me try out. It sat for a few yrs just pinned to my hat but when I needed a hat to wear to cover my almost non existent hair after chemo I said now was the time to sew it on. I like blingy things.

I got to admit, it has a bit of this and that so much that it stands out for sure. At least it did make my head look better.

If my other spare ball caps weren't white I'd be pinning some glitzy stick pins all over the front. A great use right now for my blingy pins.

That Styrofoam head and stand was a great idea given to me by one of my Serger club friends. She had used an adhesive and a tile you buy cheap at the hardware stores on broken boxes or returned half used tile boxes. I bought a clear kind of caulking and let it dry for 72 hours. It is stuck to stay and the head won't tip over.

Well, thank you very much. Baby Lock makes the embellisher machines. They needle punch fibers to a base fabric and you can use most anything. The needles for the machine have little barbs on them and I think they can use anywhere from 1-12 needles all at the same time. Lots better than trying to hand punch with a barbed needed device. And, thank you.

I'll say. I am a great saver of things just like my mom was.She saw a use for everything and was very creative. I even save toilet paper tubes for wrapping bias tapes I make or ribbons--and even cut them to fit over the vinyl rolls for the Cricut machine. Terrible but true--I label as to permanent, heat transfer etc.
