I am so excited! I have been looking for the perfect hat to wear fishing. It is made from Realtree Camo denim (denim like) fabric.

I am fair skinned and burn easily. So, i did a little looking on the internet and found a free tutorial!! it wasn't the easiest to figure out the first time, but I finally got it. I used freezer paper to make up the pattern and ironed it on my fabric to cut out.

I saved my freezer paper so i wouldn't have so much trouble the next time. i am going to make some pretty ones too. I've had a few inquiries to make and sell them already! That would be great! Tulip bags, and wide-brimmed sun hats. SO much fun!

I still can't believe I did it!! All this time looking in stores and everything was too expensive that i wanted.

cool! where's the tute? I have a hard time finding them for my husband because one size does NOT fit all! he's a small guy and we always have to sew in a thick band to keep them from falling down on his eyes and ears.

haha! My husband wears one of those ;-) Good job!

sorry forgot the link. It didn't say i couldn't post the link anywhere on the page so i think we are good.

And I understand, funny, my daughter has trouble with hat sizes too! Custom fit!

I'd love to have a hat like that! Not necessarily the RealTree Camo... Great job!

DebraK

I have the opposite problem ;-) I would like the tute too, please.

DebraK

Thank you!

Wouldn't it be awesome if the hat took over the bow tuck!?!?! LMAO

DebraK

yes ;-) We'll see everyone sporting your hat and Tulip bag ;-)

Oh that would be awesome! I haven't sold very many but i am still trying because Anne is starting college next month. She will be driving 54 miles each wasy 3 and 4 days a week. UGH. But it's worth it!!
