Scissors Happy!!!!

I spent most of last week's spare time cutting apart a cool jacket into a child's size 10 vest and hat. The denim for the hat came from a denim skirt that I had gotten at a second hand store. I guess both items did. The second hand store was having a sale, you could fit as many items into a sack for 5 dollars. I looked for the unique fabrics and large items to cut up.
Here is the upper hat brim being cut out of the skirt.

And the final products! My niece seemed to like it and thankfully it fit her! Her mom had sent me measurements and this was my first attempt at making something to fit someone that wasn't here to try it on periodically as I sew.

Whew! Now on to a Lego bag for another nephew's birthday next week... I'll post pics of that soon.
