A hat

Filed under: Sewing — admin at 3:27 pm on Thursday, October 12, 2006

I’ve been a proud member of the official Mailorder Craft Club and absolutley just love the whole concept! Makes me feel like a 12 year old again and giddy when I see my red envelope in the mail. Our secretary does everything so well…including great ideas and easy instructions.

This hat was the last project and I have been completely focused on finishing it up since I started it- which was yesterday. The lining is red mini-cord. and the outer fabric is some really nice heavy cotton I have had in my stash for a time. I still need to add the tab that connects the 2 ear flaps, but I was debating if I wanted to have droopy dog ears or the 2 neatly buttoned together. Considering I live in a very windy place, I think latching the sides will be best…

Okay, so as I was creating this post I started laughing at all the dumb photos I took of myself wearing this hat! I’m not sure why I am sharing such silliness, but perhaps someone out there needs a good laugh. I know I did.

Dumb! So now you have had your fill of me…

so nice to “see” you, for whatever reason I imagined you with dark hair, but I love you haircolor just as it is : )

cute carol! I like the last picture best. you know I’ve made a couple of my own hats? macromai or however you spell that. I actually need to go back and finish the last one I started making. you’ve inspired me a bit! The first one I made was slightly too baggy, and I left it on my first trip to finland. (c:

love that hat. love the many funny pictures of you. i’ll admit here, that i’ve been known to pick up my camera for no reason and just snap pictures of myself. (most of which are horribly ugly!!) but its still funny!~
