Coming up to the end of week 3...

It's Thursday, and I actually felt very productive today. I put the finishing touches on the gorgeous tweed Adele Cap I'd made so that it could be posted off to it's new home (eek!). Then I started making another Adele Cap, this time in a checked waxed cotton fabric with the softest lining ever. For real. And it's a little sparkly.

This cap only has two pattern pieces, the main body that has two darts at the top, and the brim. I like the shape of this cap because it has a lovely volume to it, which looks really nice with the pleats we put in. The two I've made were also topstitched which I think is a lovely little detail.

See how nice that fabric is? I loved working with it, and the same with the lining which, did I mention, was super soft? The good thing about this is it's shower proof, so it's a great cap to have made this time of year. When I'd finished this hat this afternoon, we were trying to decide whether to put a trim on it or not, so I had a root through one of the button boxes and immediately spotted a red one that suited it perfectly.

I had fun making this cap, and I'm really enjoying my time at Hat Therapy. Next we're going to work with felt which I'm looking forward too, and I'm going to be making a trilby. Woo!
