Me Made February – Finale: Hat

Finale – the last day of Me Made February. And to mark this special occasion I wear today...

... my brand new me made hat.

Pattern: me made, inspired by a hat I bought on St.Kilda’s Esplanade Market

Fabric outside: lightweight Prince-of- Wales- Check (Glencheck) fabric – gift from my friend N.

Fabric lining: pink lining fabric from the Neuköllner Stoffmarkt

I am really proud of it and therefore I saved it for the finale of my Me Made Challenge. It is the first time that I made a pattern myself and after only a few tweaks it now looks like the original. Only better ;-)

I love hats per se. But this hat I simply adore.

I love its style. It is chic yet practical (it is warm and covers both your ears completely plus you can just fold it up in your bag when you go inside). It is traditional yet quirky (I love tweed, but feel that I am not eccentric enough to wear the English-landlady-style from head to toe).

Therefore I knew I had to make a similar hat like this when I first saw it. And I am proud that I managed to do so before the long German winter is over. So now I have two of these wonderful hats to alternate for the rest of the winter. So bring on the -10Cs ;-)

And now ...

... that’s it! I cannot believe it. That was my last post and last item for this Me Made February :-( So, before I start to become all melancholic, I better go and have a look at your me made posts. For the last time – sniff!
