We have had our oldest grandson over this week & he wanted to make something for his mom for Christmas. He has never sewn anything so I decided a fleece hat would be an easy project for him to make. He sergered & hemmed so used the two machines to make this. I think he did a terrific job & he is quite proud of his gift for his mom!

Absolutely fantastic! So many young kids have no idea how to sew on a button let alone an "electric peddle machine" :) I am 100% on your side teaching the young skills they can use for a lifetime. This is a beautiful hat and I would probably display it upon my head and it was made by someone so darn good looking! I think this young man is super talented and yes, ALL the ladies want a hat now!

Well done to your Grandson he has done a marvellous job for his first sewing project. Looks to me to be a natural. I can see him doing more and possibly making some pocket money on the side.

What a fantastic job he has done -and you too, for leading him so well. I do love it when boys break out of that mold of what society expects of them -girls too :) So much more meaningful to give a gift that he has put thought and enthusiasm into :)

Your grandson did a great job on the hat for his mother. He should be very proud of his project and you should be equally proud for your teaching skills! I am sure his mother will love it.

What a wonderful gift and the face that he did it himself is amazing. My 17 year old nephew likes to sew, too.

I made it up, I have made many hats in my life so this was right out of my head. I'm sure if you google free sewing hat patterns you will find a wide variety to choose from. It's basically a tube that you cut @ the top with a plate to make it round & then it is sewn like a T with intersection @ the top, He sergered all the edges & then made a small hem @ the bottom & flipped it to make the cuff go upwards with no visible seem showing. I hope this helps you some. Gabi & Laura & I hope that we get to see yours in projects too! thanks so much. ~hugs~
