Hats ahoy.

I finished up an adult dino for a client and mailed it off today. These are always fun to do. I’m always tempted to keep them myself.


I also thought I’d try something new. Since Hancock Fabric was having a big sale, I picked up some fleece remnants from the bargain bin and stitched this up. It was a good learning project. The fit is dead on, but I need to change the way I stitch around the features. Also, the down-hanging teeth were a cute idea, but you can just catch them out of the corner of your vision and it’s freaky. The eyes need to be set down further, and I need to actually create a lining. It was a good first test project, though.

Emily: “What’s this?”
Me: “A hat. I thought it might be nice to try something different. I wanted it to look like a monster was eating my head. I think it’s kind of neat. Do you like it?”
Emily: “NO!”

Okay then. Back to the drawing board.

Hats up for: MN, MN, and CA

    Squeee, cute Dino hat! 🙂

    The…the monster hat is…creepy. I think the teeth would be very distracting as you walk around. Hehe.

    Monster hat…

    I think the idea is cute – but what if you gave it eyebrows, to give it a surprised/bewildered look? As though it were aiming for something else, and landed on you head by mistake?

    Eh… don’t mind me – having a Far Side moment…. 🙂
