What to make? Something personal yet simple and something which they could use. I don't know the girls well as they are kindy friends and I have never met their mother so I stuck with pinks and purples with a bit of denim thrown in. Hats, personalised, reversible and no Queensland parent ever has enough hats!
With a great idea in mind I set about finding a pattern as I've never made a hat before. I was lucky enough to find a freebie pattern on the net so gave it a go and here are the results.
I'm pretty happy with the way they came out and delighted to say that they were made entirely from things in my sewing stash, no new anything had to be bought. I'm not really sure if that is great for the "nothing new" or just an indication that really must stop hoarding fabrics but hey, love the results. Both hats are reversible so they are basically the same but with different letters for each twin.
If I did hats again I would tweak the pattern slightly and I'm keen to experiment on one with a pony tail hole at the back for my daughter so I'll keep you posted when I next feel inspired to make one. It's pretty grey and wet out there right now though so maybe our next sunny spell will get me going
