it was clear that I had to find something to do indoors; and what better thing to do than make something that puts a smile on my face on those snowy winter mornings. That's when I remembered this:
I tried it on when I was out shopping with my Mum (I take pictures of things I like and think I can make for cheaper). The hat was £10, and it instantly make me think of a scarf that my sister gave to me when she was throwing things out (I always get first dibs before something gets tossed).
So, time to gather my supplies.
All I needed was the scarf, scissors, measuring tape, needle and thread (not pictured). Pictured here is
tailors chalk, but I ended up using a marker pen because it was easier to see.
Step one: I measured around my head, and marked the scarf at the same length:
I decided to cut off both ends of the scarf as they were slightly rounded and use the middle bit to go around my head.
Step two: I sewed the two end pieces together to form the top of the hat:
Step three: I sewed the long bit around the full perimeter of the top and joined up all of the seams:
I did all of my work inside out, and, to be frank, it didn't look pretty!
Until I turned it out that is!
All done:
That's a saving of £10 thank you very much!
Total cost:£0.00
Total time spent: Around 4 hours - due to all the fluff which forced me to sew everything by hand. It may look pretty but it's evil to work with!
