New Cutie-Pie Hats

I just had to slide in this post. Even so, I was planning to tell you about this other great project I mentioned before.

A couple of weeks ago I won a blog giveaway at Sevi Designs and had the choice of two Izzy & Ivy patterns. I chose the Jack & Jill hat and the Princess Bella Dress. These are such cute patterns. You should really check them out.

So, anyway, even so I shouldn't work on anything but that huge custom order that will keep me busy for the next 3 months (more about it in another post), I couldn't wait to try the Jack & Jill hat(s). It turned out not to be as quick a project as I would have liked. It took me close to 3 hours to make one, including cutting the fabrics. There are a lot of pieces to be sewn together. But, the pattern itself is very acurate and fits together nicely. Also, the sizing is perfect.

Aren't they cute?! I used a Summer Soiree print, which I had bought from Marie Madeline Studio a while ago and some white and pink Kona cottons. I wish I had a hot pink instead of the lighter pink for the band, but didn't want to spend more on fabric right now...

And here a couple more shots with funny faces.

There are about two hours inbetween the first and second "session" and I had chopped the girls' hair in the meantime. About 5 inches. It was A LOT, but worth the elimination of morning screams when I try to brush out food and syrup....


...and one last one, just because it's so pretty....

Richtig pfiffig und genau das Richtige für den Sommer. Bin noch auf der Suche nach einem passenden Hut für Annabelle. Gar nicht so leicht, da Annabelle ohne Haare aber dafür mit grossen Ohren gesegnet ist, die verdeckt werden müssen ;-)
