So we made -

A Gnome Hat - ;))

How cute is that? -

My friend emailed me with a link to a pinterest board - HERE - saying that she had the "material" and asking if I could help her make a Gnome Hat to go with her Gnome costume for Halloween -

SIDE NOTE -
You can always tell a "non-quilter" when they call fabric "material" - LOL - ;))

Anyway -

I told her YES!! - and that the sewing part was going to be easy - the hard part would be the measuring and marking and making sure it fit correctly -

I suggested we use some newspaper to make a "pattern" before we cut into the felt - so as not to waste it. We measured and marked the newspaper - then used some Scotch Tape - to make a "paper" hat - checked the fit - and it was PERFECT!! -

So we pinned the pattern to the felt - cut that out - sewed the seam -

And now she can be a Gnome for Halloween on Tuesday - ;))

She liked it so much she wore it home -

She couldn't wait for Tuesday - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
