Make: Grow: Thrift:


I thought I would show you how to make a little reversible hat,  here are my fabric choices, I feel in a green mood at the moment it must be because I was sat relaxing in my chair looking at the lovely green grass this morning I am even wearing a green top today so definitely in a green mood. 


On paper or card cut out  2 shapes the 1 on the left is for the circle around the base of the hat and you cut out the fabric on the fold as it will open to a bigger shape x2 pieces, you can do in same fabric but I thought I would be different & did it in 2 different one's then sew them together to form the circle. The shape on the right is like a long triangle cut out x3 in 1 fabric choice & 3 in the other, stitch each section together half inch seam allowance.


Here they all are ready to sew I got a little ribbon for the top & I cut out another lot in green gingham just for the inside if you want me to explain better & grab a template just e-mail me or you can buy them from Here



Have a great day what ever you are creating & please join in the fun at Jodie's blog & link what ever you have made grown or thrift hope to see you there!!

  3. JUST DARLING!!! Oh the results that occur when we sit down with TIME!!! This is just bright and beautiful, and between aqua and this color green, I am happy as can be. Are you getting your spring now dearest? We are inching our way towards warmer weather much sooner than usual, but it is lovely to start thinking of pretty colors. I am currently working on new Etsy items that are full of spring color.

    THANK YOU FOR VISITING AND sitting with me. Anita

  5. See Lainey, THIS is why I need my Mum to become a blogger so that she can share in this wonderful cleverness and actually do the sewing that I somehow never managed to master.

    So wonderful and I could truly see my little niece loving this......"MUM!!!!"
