Thank-you, noah. I figure that if I'm busy doing something I love, I'm a much happier camper.lol

Thank-you, oaro

Thank-you, Shirlene. I really enjoy matching fabric and design. It's a large part of the fun of machine embroidery for me.

Thank-you

Thank you, asterixsew. If I have the design that you are looking for correct(the one that looks a bit like a very full feather?) I got it from Dainty Stitches archives. http://www.daintystitches.com/viewset.asp?a=2&p=2122&folder=images&c=&sc= You get 12 designs for $1. It was design #7 from that set that I rotated a bit. She has some wonderful designs in these archives and for only $1 a set. The ones I've used stitch out beautifully without any problems.

Thank-you jettedk. Yes, they are all from the same pattern. They have tuts on the internet on how to make a barret. It is quite easy to do. You should try it.

Hi mops. For some of the hats I used fleece. Others I used moleskin, suede, and faux suede. I want to make a few from linen type fabric. It never gets very cold here in southern California, and the fleece hats would be used for only a short period of time. I think wool would be wonderful to use, too. The diameter of the crown is 12 1/2" There is a small 4" piece of elastic in the back in the band to make them a bit more adjustable.

Thank-you.

Thank-you. One of my difficulties is that I like so many designs, that I could make more hats than I could get rid of.lol

Thank-you, Jo. I don't know if they are back in style, but I've seen a few about here lately.
I'm always trying to find items to add embroidery to and these seemed like a good way to go.

Thank-you.
