.A Sun Kissed Hat for the Mama.

Super thankful for your excitement about my new Sun Kissed Hat pattern.  It was very well received at Quilt Market too and I've noticed they are starting to pop up in stores now.  
So, you've seen the hat on a cute little girl, but I want to share with you that it is just as fitting on adults as well.  Unfortunately I am not a "hat person" - I'll wear one every now and then (mostly to set a good example to the kiddos!) but I just don't feel comfortable in hats.  I have made a couple for myself in hopes that I can become more sun conscious and feel comfortable in a hat though!
I do prefer wearing this hat rather than a regular bucket-style hat though.  The adjustable tabs at the back help to give it better shape and fit more snugly on my head.

 
If you've still got some Christmas presents to cross off the list, perhaps you can dig into your fabric stash and whip up a few hats?  They really are a quick and simple project...especially when you are making a few in a production line!
I'm short on words tonight...the kids are finally asleep and I'm itching to escape into the sewing room and finish sewing a gazillion pairs of shorts for kids and cousins Christmas gifts!

Oh Toni, I LOVE it!!!!
I am not really a hat person either and especially when I have had to wear a cap on this trip to make sure it stays on in the wind. Ew!! But I could totally wear one of them. Very cute indeed.
Three weeks until I am back behind my Bernina.

LOVE IT!! I look like a twit in hats generally...but I do like to put one on when hanging clothes on the line. Think I'll be the coolest laundry lady around with one of these;)will go on line tomorrow to purchase a pattern. Thanks!

Oh Wow! I bought this hat pattern as soon as I read about it on your blog (thanks Funky Fabrixs!) but I didn't realise it could be made up into a hat for me too! So versatile... thankyou!

I think the hat looks great on you!

This pattern is definitely on my list of things to buy. Should just tell Lisa to put one aside for me. :)

Sunny pictures on a grey dull day here in North Germany.
You do look lovely in that hat.

I love hats but not a hat-girl. But I do need one and yours looks like a good fit.

Any chance for a PDF-version?

the hat looks beautiful both on kids and adults! i'm not a hat person either but sometimes we do need to wear it! actually, your pattern reminds me of the bonnets from pride & prejudice (the 5 hour bbc version). so cute!! :)
