Hi ladies, I inherited part of my aunts hat collection. (ones worn my my grandmother and great grandmother.) But on many of them the tulle is in bad shape. Do any of you know of a source to buy more tulle? 

This is the only photo I took before I packed the hats for a move to Savannah GA in 10 days! WOot!

Thanks,

andee

Much like this with large weave.

Andee, first of all, good luck on the move. Secondly... I LOVE those hats! Thirdly, I have at least a couple of hats that need new netting. I found a hat store here in So Cal and the woman told me that she would probably be able to re do them for about $30 each. I have some sewing skills but they are very basic. And I do not really have any sources for tulle. But I totally wish you good luck. And let me welcome you to our new group.

I'm still going to recommend Etsy for cheap tulle/netting. What you want is milinery netting or ' French'  netting you do have to pay attention to what it is made out of as some are made out of cheap polyester which isn't as nice. Birdcage netting is probably a little too small but people mislabel things all the time. 

You can also look on any of these websites for more help. Some like Judithm also offer workshops so you can learn to work with your hats as well.
