Dear Kelly,
Speaking of hats, I have decided I am a hat person. I've bought a couple and thought I ought to make more myself. I just stopped at Joann and looked through all of the pattern books to no avail.
So where else can I look? I bet you know who sells "hip" patterns online.
I'm off to find my sewing books...
Love,
Shayne
What kind of hats are you looking to make?
ReplyDeletei bought a book on hat making, and damned if i can find it now... it's called saturday night hat. it's pretty cool, lots of funky hat ideas and instructions on how to make a bunch.
ReplyDeletethe only thing i didn't like about it was that there are pictures of fedoras on the cover, which i was really excited about, but the actual projects were just bands on purchased fedoras. i was disappointed! but if you know that before you buy it, the disapointment level would be lower!
i just googled it, and craftzine did a review of the book a while ago, and linked to it on amazon. i'd totally recommend it too.

and check craftster.org, i'm sure i've seen some tutorials for hats on there.
i wanna see what you make!!
Newsboys and those little military sorta caps. I have determined that golfer hats and fedoras are not for me.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I might need some more knit hats when winter rolls in :)
Amy, thanks for the tip. I will check it out.
My friend makes beautiful hats using patterns from this seller on Etsy (McHats)

They are really cute and she has some variations on the newsboy cap.
