For those of us who crochet, this website is a treasure! With patterns taken from old 1930s, '40s, and '50s booklets or pamphlets (now in the public domain), you can create your own vintage fashion and accessories! Just to look at the photos for hair and style inspiration is fun too. The hat section is especially interesting. You have to be creative since the patterns were written much looser back then, and the photos are not as clear. Usually there is only one photo and none of the back. But still they are definitely re-creatable!
I plan to make this one next. It is very close to a vintage hat I own from that era. My biggest difficulty is making them look fashionable and not too homemade.
