Well this morning I got up early and made my bread for the week and then because it was raining it was a Sewing day!!
Today was going to be the day I had a go at making sock monkey's but it turned out to be a day I'd make Baby Hat's!!
I was looking through my fave blogs and found a great pattern I just had to have a go at.
I used recycled materials in this project. A suggestion from my Hard work Heaven man. I didn't want to make them too girly because I'm not sure if they are for a baby boy or a girl.
I was going to use my partners shirt's (he he) but decided the colours weren't nice enough so I had to sacrifice my own shirts!! They didn't fit properly and at least I didn't have to fork out any extra cash!
These are the two hats cut out
The end result of my first hat. Pretty quick to whip up but I don't have an over locker and this wasn't quite the nice result I was hoping for. I also wasn't pleased that you could see the seams inside the hat.
This is my attempt at adding a lining. Bit harder to do at this stage.
Looking a bit better now and the inside is also softer.
Much better
At least this time I know I need a lining so I can preplan how to do it.
Much nicer this time and a novelty knot tied at the top to at some personality.
Or without the knot
Fully reversible
My two finished hats. Much happier with my second hat.
I think tomorrow might be a sock monkey kind of day!
You're amazing, Katrina.
