I foster animals too and know all about the crazy things that can happen. I would hope that mold could be scraped off the hats. You may want to try steaming the hats over a pot of boiling water and then scraping the mold off. I know it is frustrating and if the hats came from a dear friend, it makes the situation even worse. Good luck!

It sounds to me like it will have to have the old feathers removed and new ones added. That’s really the only way to fix the hat. I have never worked with seal skin. It must be quite an amazing hat!

If you don't have a head form, you can use your own head. The hat would need to dry on you however. Good luck! Polly

Lovely!

Thanks for the great tip! I loved the fabrics and could see them covering a chair in my studio. The colors and prints are amazing.
