Late night crafting: Part two!
Well, I showed my little sister my new billed beanie hat, and she fell in love with it. I found her wearing it a lot after I had made it, so I decided to make her one today! (It’s her birthday)
Here are the pictures! I took shots on my progress, so this post will look strikingly similar to my other late night post.
Dammit, I hate flash. Here’s the sweater I cut up to make this hat.
Here are the pieces. Freaking flash… the blue isn’t this saturated in person, it’s more of a midnight blue.
Here she is wearing it. I don’t think any of the pictures show the true color of this hat.
As you can see, I added a little more to this hat, which I like a lot. The sweater was a military sweater, so it had those little flaps on the shoulder, which I cut off, sewed together and sewed along the brim. I think it turned out pretty nicely. 
She already pinned on a bunch of pins we grabbed from the Maker Faire last year, but when I tried to snap a photo, my camera decided it hated me and died. (After I had stuck brand new lithium batteries in)
