Someone else I once knew also sat on a velour fedora, not even leaving a crease.</p> <p>The worst Oh O I've ever intiated is when I created a very large flat sinamay brim. I'd edged it with wire and a beautiful bias trim, was carrying it. Tripped and dropped it, then trod on it (Mrs Butter Fingers with the best of them at times); so that brim got re-designed into a large fascinator.

What happened?</p> <p>I am an over confident sewing machine wrangler, and tend to go flat chat with what ever I'm doing (relying on the grooves etc). On this one ocassion, where I didn't wear my reading/ safety glasses, I got a little too wild and managed to hit the wire (on the edge of a brim I think). The needle snapped in three, with one piece shooting me in the white of my eye. Very nearly started wearing goggles after that. </p> <p>No damage was done, I did take myself to the optometrist to make sure it was all ok and was given drops to keep the scratch on the surface clean.</p> <p>Other then that, I think I've managed to drop a hat block on my foot.
