Hat

We've been having fantastic weather, which may have boken today :0( so I thought I should have a new hat. A few hours, and much cursing later, here we have my new reversible hat











More bias tape. Love it.

  1. Oh, how COOL! Is it just a lightweight canvas you used? Did you add anything other than the bias tape to stiffen the rim? I need a HUGE hat for all of the walking we've been doing out in the lovely sunshine -- we must stock up before the dark, after all! -- and this one is fresh and cute!

  2. The pale side is a linen mix, the flowery side is home decor fabric. I used some lightwieght interfacing in the brim.

  4. You totally rock this sewing thing. I'm going to ...ATTEMPT this. I think it would help if I could already sew well -- but you just whipped this out without a form or anything? I must try it! Eventually. When we get done packing and moving. Again.

    ...sigh.
