Some new hats

With the cooler weather now here, I whipped up a few hats today!

Maura requested a (what else?) Totoro hat...shocking I know!  When looking for ideas, I found this great example that inspired me on Craftster.  She thinks it's the best hat she's ever had!

Liam's skate hat I made from a thrifted sweatshirt.  I used the graphic on the shirt as a patch on the front and back.  I found good directions on making this recycled hat on the Creative Maven blog, instructions here.

new improved Gnome T for Maura

The Penny Carnival Back To School Sew Along continues! 

This is the second gnome shirt for Maura with this fabric.  The first one, made this spring, is so shrunk it is now only for pajamas.  This one seems perfect!

Pattern used: New Look 6321. I made the XS size for her. It's so hard to find the right size for her right now, she's too big for the kids and a little small for the adult patterns.  This one seems good! 

show and tell - Maura's owl wallet and Ipod Touch holster

Both of these were done without any pattern. I just designed these as I sat at the machine. The best thing about these projects is how little fabric they take, so you can use up your scraps. On the Ipod case I lined it with fleece so it would be very soft inside. She loves these. It's a great project for a 13 year old!
