In Sydney, hats are somewhat a must-have in any child’s wardrobe especially during summer as summer can be really cruel. It’s stinking hot and dry too. But even on cooler days, the suns rays can still do damage to bub’s skin hence I thought that it would be a good idea to start practising my sunhat sewing skills.

KR is seen here modeling Arianna’s hat. This is the second hat I put on her and I think she’s had enough of the camera flashing at her. *lol* This hat was sewn to match Arianna’s China Grass Dress.

This is KR’s hat and as this was the first hat I put on her, she was still amused! *lol* I sewed this hat to match her Alicia dress and pants. (to be blogged) Both hats are made from cotton.

While they are quite easy to sew up, I must be doing something not quite right as they aren’t as nice as I expected them to be. I might try out another pattern from Otto…if only I could find the time to search through my ever-growing stash!!! >.<

TFL!
