More sewing « »
Yesterday I put the batting and back on my quilt, and even got the whole thing hand tied! WAHOO!
I think it will be a good gift.
Today, I cut out and started assembling ten little sunhats.
Last year, I made Mazie and her friend Sylvie each sunhats similar to these (with different fabric and less streamlined) and people wanted to buy them off the girls’ heads. SO…this spring I want to be prepared and actually have a few on hand. A few might end up on etsy, too. The hats are completely reversible from reds to blues, and are all Anna Maria Horner fabrics from fabricworm.
The last couple of weeks have been full of deadlines, so it’s nice to not be so email-focused and calmly sit and sew.
The big news is that my FIL is out of ICU and it looks like they are heading back home this week. WHEW!
Mazie is doing better, she’s still got her cold but it seems to be clearing up.
Not much happening, which actually feels GREAT!

I absolutely adore you fabric choices. I need to be more fearless when I pick my fabric colors and patterns.
Those hats are adorable. Is that a self drafted pattern, or could I buy it somewhere?
Thanks!
I don’t know how to draft sewing patterns, but you can find similarly constructed hat patterns at the fabric store. The difference is that I’ve made mine reversible.
