Hats!

I get tired of making the same thing over and over again, and last week I made three four bags already. Last time I got sick of bags I moved on to plushies. But really, I don't want a bunch of stuff lying around my house, so I want to craft something I can sell on etsy or that people want, and I never sold any of my random plushies on etsy. However, I sold all my clutches. Possibly just because they took less time and where cheaper, but also maybe because tend more to buy useful things over random cute things?

Solution: hats! I want a summer hat anyway for gardening, but I need to go get some heavy weight interfacing and this stupid town doesn't have a sewing supplies store, and I've been too lazy to go shopping. So I tried this smaller, fluted hat first that doesn't need interfacing.

Its reversible because that's what the hat I used for reference was, but next time I probably won't do reversible. Yeah you have to sew a lining anyway, but I wanted to decorate the outside more and its just a paint sew a lot of patches on both sides. So, flower pin it is. A different floppy style one is in the works, I guess I'll see how popular this is and maybe I'll have something else to add to my etsy repetoire.
