a little hat

I made F a little sun hat with the pattern I picked up the other day and two fat quarters from one of those fat quarter coordinate packs.  She was kind enough to model it for me.



The crown piece was about 1/2" too long, but I didn't realize that until after I had sewn it, ripped it, and re-sewed it, easing the crap out of it to make it fit the top.  I thought the piece had stretched the first time (because I skipped stay-stitching it) and it wasn't until I attached the brim that I noticed it was acutally a bit too large.

I also think I could have attached the lining a bit more neatly, but how finicky do I need to get over a baby hat?

I think I might add a ribbon to the crown/brim join to make it look a little more girly.

I guess this is the first picture I've shared of her here - I just haven't got around to it until now.  Too bad she looks a little startled.
