It's fall and she needed hats. I've knit hats, but thought I'd try to sew some. These were super, super easy and she loves them, as you can see. She is a little over two months old and the fleece fits great (nice and snug); the knit one turned out a little big and falls down over her eyes sometimes. I used this tutorial. Just make sure you cut the hat in the right direction (so it can stretch to fit baby's head). Also, I don't have a serger, just used a regular sewing machine for the knit fabric. Speaking of sewing machines, I just bought a new machine. I have had three machines in my life and all three were hand-me-downs. I almost cried opening up a brand new machine. It is a Brother CS-6001 and, for the record, the pink fleece hat was the first project ever sewn on the machine.
