Whilst browsing (avoiding the housework lol) through some of my favourite blogs, I came across a sew-a-long that Noodlehead was taking part in on The Train To Crazy Blog. The Little Cap Pattern looked perfect for my two little boys, so I ordered up the pdf from Etsy seller Leila & Ben.The Little Man wanted an orange Giraffe on his so I used some orange from my FabricRehab emergency bundle. I then bought some cheap cord in Fabricland and used an (CB) Ikea quilt cover for the lining, which had an animal print on cotton flannel, so it will be nice & warm.
It came together so easily and from start to finish it took me around 2 hrs to make!!!!
The giraffe was my first attempt at raw-edge applique and was much easier than anticipated to do.
I am really pleased with how he turned out, but the Little Man complained that the Giraffe should be on the front of the hat and not the side!!! Luckily for him the hat is a bit small so The Little Fella will be wearing it. And I can make him another, slightly bigger one with the giraffe on the front lol!!!!
SO CUTE! (Is it a bad sign that I recognised that FabricRehab fabric straight away? Need to spend less time drooling over internet fabrics, more time sewing methinks!)
