Because You Know You Missed My Sewing Projects...

I found an easy tutorial for beret making a couple months ago, and finally got around to trying it out. I have this great tartan print fabric with scotty dogs in it that talia_speaks sent me, and I wanted to make a set with it. I'm doing a beret and a fashion waist cincher - no actual cinching capabilities! - that I can use on whatever skirt I feel like. I still need the right type of lace for it, so here we have the hat!







I found batteries! This is actually the third try. first we don't talk about. Second came out well, but.... you can see the problem here:



Too small for my head! I have a kind of giant head, so hats and I don't often get along as is. And I under-estimated when cutting the fabric. (Why yes, I did try and darken my gray with photoshop, leave me alone.)

If anyone with a small head would like it, you're welcome to it!



Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with a little over half a yard of beautiful red and black asian patterned brocade.

Oh! I love berets! My mom thought I was a weird little child because I always wore one. And yours is so cool! I love the pattern. I can't believe you made that yourself!

How small is it, really? Because that thing will probably fit my head. I always wear kids hats and gloves/mittens.

Berets are awesome! Thank you! I loved the fabric and I thought it would make an awesome beret!

If you wear kids hats and stuff, it should fit you. It fits my 13 year old niece, but she does not like berets.
