I make these hats for my husband (He picked out the fabrics actually). He is a welder/boiler maker. Welders wear them under their welding helmets. He is the envy at work now. For some reason the egg one (my purchase) turned out a bit too small...too much seam perhaps :/ So he told the guys at work and one is going to buy it today for $25 if it fits him :D I am on my way to Fabricland now to get more thread and interfacing so I can put the beak/visor part on the rest of them (note: only 2 in pic r finished). I have 6 more to finish then he got more fab to make 4 more on top of that...He wears them all the time too, even going out.
15057This is a great idea. I have done some welding in the past and it gets pretty darn hot under the helmet, I just used a bandana, but this is much better. Nice job!!

Great job - it sounds like your DH has the right attitude - what are they all going to do? *4U
15057how neat - my hubby is a jazz organist who rides a harley so i made him several skull caps with musical themed fabric, then my son had to have some so skulls for him and then our friend had to have some and then his wife and on and on, I love it! Cheers to you and keep up the good work

Thank you. I have some "bike" fabric from Wal-Mart. Will be one of the next ones. *4U
17161That is really SUPER an idea! Men had to carry a large problem if it the protective helmet for a long time! The scalp gets no air, sweats, and it wars with the time a bald head! that is not a joke!!! Thus who is to protect it if not we women?!? CONGRATULATION! Flowers for it

Thank you. Is his kinda like a bandana that ties at the back? This one DH ears with the beak at the back when he has his helmet on and then beak at the front all other times. *4U
211079That's wonderful. He must be very proud of you work and hobby. And they are so useful.

YES!!! He did actually sell that one pink Easter egg one at work today for $25 and stated that the guys there are really getting interested at all the dif hats he wears all the time. One fellow requested "Don Cherry" fabric. Never saw it (don't really care for cherry either, sorry). My husband would like one with Homer Simpson on (don't like Simpsons either, what can I say). The wilder, the better with those guys :D

TY :) It is my own pattern.... well, sort of.. One of his old ones was falling apart (litterally) so I made up pattern pieces from it.

Thank you for taking time to aswer my question. I taken things apart for the pattern in the past. I guess that's what I will do.
325Very clever and could possibly be a money maker for you too. Keep up the good work. I also like your hubby's choice of fabrics. A flower for 4. Happy Easter!
