Hats

I have been busy at the sewing machine this week again.  This week I promised a hat to a little girl whose hair is thinning due to some medical issues.  Why do I do that to myself?

I have never made a hat in my life, but off I go to the fabric store and I find a pattern, and I make a hat.  It is probably the hardest thing I have ever made.  Ususally I stick to things with straight lines, curtains and bags.   But I made a promise, the first one I made.  This is it before I "decorated" it.  (Front and back)  

This is it after I "decorated" it.   I really don't like but every little girl I show it to loves it, so she will get that one.  I think it looks like a shower cap with a princess crown. 

But then Buddy wanted one, and then Princess wanted one and so they each got one.  Then I made another one for our friend.  This one turned out a LOT better, I guess by that point this was the fifth one, so it didn't have the puckers and challenges of the first few. I also made the little flower that is a pin, so it can be taken off and the hat can be thrown in the wash. Now they are not so hard to make. I just hope she likes both of them, or at least she likes the same on that I like.  If she hates the shower cap one, then I am fine with that.
