The Sunhat

Check our my other hats, patterns and colors.

Aren't these adorable sunhats? I found this pattern and fell in love with the little girl on the front wearing the sunhat. After making several, my girlie girl realized they needed a little something extra. First I thought a silk flower, no, that could be over powering. Then the lightbulb went on, a fabric flower would be perfect. I knew I had seen them before on something, somewhere....but where? So, to Google I go, (I just love Google). After many woman hours of searching through various options I found this wonderful blog with detailed instructions on how to make fabric flower pins. They are the easiest flower to make and brighten everything they are attached to. The beauty of the detachable flower pin is it allows you to redesign the brim any way you want to wear it; up, down, sideways. Whatever your mood strikes you for your child!

I did make a couple boy hats for my grandson, Evan (of course, no flower). However, the girl fabrics, the addition of the flower overpowered my creative side.
