a sun-hat for Lexi

It all started last night

when I spotted my note

and just below it

the curtain topper I'd bought at a yard sale for 25 cents.

I picked it up

planning to make the girls sun-dresses

but then

I saw the reminder

that I'd put on my shelves

because I could never remember Lexi needed a sun hat

until we were in the pool

and she got all squinty.

I suppose a really good mom

would have hopped out and stitched one up immediately.

But alas,

I am not a really good mom

just a decent one.

I do

after all

try to hop in the pool every day with the kiddos.

I used Charity's bush hat tutorial as a very loose guide.

I used the same tute

last year

for an Indiana Jones hat for Lex'

I should have used interfacing on the brim

and if I ever make another

I'll be sure to add it.

It's a bit floppy

but it works okay as is

anyways

and I still have enough fabric left for a sun-dress

:-)
