Hat From Recycled T-shirts.

During this time, I have been making sewing/crafting videos for Youtube. This is a tutorial for making a hat from old t-shirts. I had a lot of fun making it and my video editing skills are improving. Something that I enjoy doing is teaching people how to make things.







 
This is a prototype that I made before the video.  It was a little tight, so I knew what to fix for the video.  I'm very pleased with the final product.


 This is the view of the top.



This is a hat that I made with Jersey knit that I had purchased years ago for another project.



This is the inside:  The edges are cleaned up with a serger.


Here I am with my cat, in my hat.


Edit:  9-6-2020

I have made a few more with bows
The fabric was a little girl's dress that I bought at the thrift store.


 

These T-shirts were also purchased at the thrift store.  The lavender t-shirt was also used to make a bag for Una Vida, a group helping Californians during the wildfires.
