My hat making kick

Last fall 2008, I went on a hat making frenzy. This was the first hat I made from a Vogue pattern that I had but had never used. It turned out so cute, that I made the next one for Maddy (see other blog) and about 7 more for our church fundraiser food and craft sale. Also a few more for Christmas presents for 2008. The hat here was made from a jacket that I had gotten off a Freecycle. I tried to recycle as much fabric from older clothes for the hats. Some were hits, others flops. You kind of learn after a while what works and what doesn't.
