Complete! Adventure Time Hat! :)

I have not made a hat in so long that i completely forgot the basic structure... I looked at the Adventure Time Hat and thought it was as easy as pie to make. Completely wrong. That white is deceiving.

What I ended up doing was scraping the entire hat I made yesterday, made a new hat today, and then my previous hat making ability kicked in and I felt like a complete idiot. I wasted so much fabric. *Sigh* SO in between Project Runway and for like an hour after... So maybe an hour and a half I spent actually making the hat the way I should have in the first place. But it's done...

I wanted to make a pattern for the Princess tonight, but I am just going to wing it tomorrow. I give up on pattern making before I sew until I can either get a book or take a class. Maybe ask my good friend Phoebe what her really cool pattern book was called so I can buy that...eventually. I might invest in some muslin since I have to go back and buy pink thread... I thought I had some in my thread bag, but alls I found was a random garden gnome.

The completed result:













Much better, right? I decided not to line it. A) I've never lined a hat and this hat has thrown me through several loops already. B) It's going to be worn in Texas. I decided the least amount of heat generating from this hat the better. C) It doesn't look bad unlined.

I added velcro to the bottom so you can adjust how big it is under your chin. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this accomplishment for the night. I'm excited to work on the princess dress! And I need to brainstorm on how to make the crown.
