Are there buy buttons on the side of the page? If so, you've caught this pattern on one of the handful of days every year when it's available! If not, read on for details of where it went and what to do if you want to be notified the next time it's available.

A few years ago I got overwhelmed by my back catalog, retired most of my earlier work, and launched Tiny Nonsense. That gave me space to make Cool New Stuff! But some people missed the earlier things, so I make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year.

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available! You can buy it just like usual.

• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available. It will probably be available the week after Thanksgiving and for a few days in June or July.

• If you want to hear when the retired patterns come back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

For a week’s stay at a gay country house, a young woman will find herself in need of no less than three hats—one a prettily trimmed walking and traveling hat; one … for golfing, boating, or picnicking; and one of more delicate construction suitable for use with light afternoon frocks, for tea parties, etc.

Perhaps I can save you a bit of room in your trunk by offering a hat that can be worn several different ways. Both sides of this fabric look lovely, so you can wear it with either side facing out. Try it with the brim folded up for a closer fit or with the brim unfolded for a bit of slouch. With all those options, it might just be enough to see you through a whole week without reinforcements.
