Hats and Headbands

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did, one more holiday weekend and then its time to get back to work.

If you are wondering when new kits are coming out, all I can say is soon. I was up late last night designing two new winter and 4 valentine kits. Keep checking as I will be posting soon.

In the meantime...

We (meaning my girls and I) have been doing lots of crafts and I thought I would share.

Hats

For my son's Eagle project, he put together 120 Christmas Stockings for underprivileged children. One of the items in the stockings were hats. A lot of knitted and store bought hats were donated but we also made a lot from fleece. They were so easy and turned out so cute that I made some for all the kids

. Here is a link for the pattern. They are super easy and work up so fast. (did I mention, they were easy?)

Here is the finished hat, cute hu?

Next I used my Big Shot and the Sizzix Circle Die and cut out four circles from the fleece. I added a pretty pearl button and stitched the flower together. I made three flowers for each hat.

I then sewed each flower to the brim of the hat on the right side.

I did them in cream, purple and yellow. Each one of my daughters received one for Christmas and they were a huge hit!

(don't look at my nasty table, lots of projects have been done on this table!)

Headbands

For Christmas D1 and D4 each received a sewing machine. I found another super cute and easy pattern for headbands here.

The three of us spent the day making them.

Does the flower look familiar? I once again used the Big Shot and the Circle Die, this time cutting circles from the cream fleece and the brown fabric. I sewed the flower to a pin so that I could wear the headband with the flower or alone.
