A Madita and More Lazy Day Hats


I've been busy sewing for Christmas. I finally completed a Madita for my niece Alice using some fabric that I picked up from spotlight. The colour is much prettier than the pictures show, I took them at night so they look a little washed out due to the flash. I also made a little reversible head-band to match...will try to get some modelled shots later.







These hats are great for summer. The girly one on the left is for Gracie and the one on the right is for my nephew Christopher. I love them when they are finished but I have to say they are not my favourite thing to make, although I really enjoy top-stitching so love that part of them! Also love how they are reversible, works for my messy kids ;)

  7. The hat pattern is the Lazy Day hat from Make it Perfect.

    My kids love wearing them but I don't really love making them...at least they get worn though ;)
