Jayne's MIL tote

Jayne asked me if I could make a bag for her mother-in-law and also another one for her friend.  She wanted a earth tone color scheme for her MIL.  I love brown so I thought..why not?.. it's earth color!!!  I bought the brown bag strap from my Japan trip and it came in handy! It also matches the brown button.  I love how all the things I bought come together in a project.

Aunty Marina's Bible tote

Got a request from Aunty Marina to make her a tote for her Bible and Mass book because her old bag handle is torn and it was a little too small to carry all her stuff.  She gets up early and attends the 630AM mass everyday!  I do not have the commitment to do that so the least I can do is to make a bag for her!!  LOL  I gave her the bag a few days ago and she is very happy with it!

Tulip hat

 This is the easiest hat to make!  You only need to use one of the template.  Tracing and cutting the fabric, I think took more time than piecing the hat together!  So far, I made 7 hats because it is sooo easy!!  LOL

All done!  This reversible cloche hat is light and soft enough to keep in the bag for use anytime!  I just love it!!  LOL

The rim of the hat is pinned in between the blue and the printed fabric.  

This is the rim of the hat.  I have to sew the two fabric together with the right sides facing each other then turn inside out.  I used the iron to press all round the rim.

Sew the top of the hat together.  First the printed fabric then the blue denim.

Made an emergency trip back to Miri last week.  I couldn't post any thing on the blog because I did not bring my laptop with me.  Anyway, these are all the cut out pieces for the hat.  For this hat design, two templates are needed.  The rim of the hat and the top.  I love this blue white combination for a reversible hat.
