		<description><![CDATA[Not all feathers are created equal.  It&#8217;s unfortunate, but it&#8217;s true.  You go to the craft store, looking to feather your cap with some amazing, lush plumage, and you find yourself confronted with an array of vacuum sealed ostrich plumes straight out of Flatland.  So, what can you do? Here&#8217;s a really amazingly crap feather. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world is full of straw hats. They are almost never the size and shape you&#8217;d like them to be. (That&#8217;s a known effect of the Law of Universal Irony, along with how the thread already in the needle is never a color that will work for your current purposes.) Fortunately, reblocking a straw hat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a cute, easy little hat.  If, for some reason, you only wanted to learn one kind of hat for your 'bethan costuming, this would be it.  The shape of the hat really responds to the fabric it's made from - with a stiffer fabric, it has height and sophistication, and with a thinner fabric it's totally flopsy and common.]]></description>

This is a great hat for merchants, or for French or Italien male characters, I think. I don't like it as well for women.  (That's purely a personal bias.)  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Basic Brim Pattern is a quick and easy method to get you started drafting hat patterns that will actually fit the head they're intended for.  It's not classical millinery - it's more of my own little sneaky cheat.  It's the first step in many of the hat-making directions you'll find here.]]></description>
