Work In Progress: Hats & Bags!

I have foreeeever been meaning to revise a few of my oldest hat patterns to make them more beginner friendly. Both in the way they’re written and by including progress & help photos. I’m currently working on updating my Ferris Wheel Slouchy Hat pattern and I got to try out Knit Picks Wool of the Andes for the first time. I’m pretty sure I had some kind of allergic reaction to it, which is weird because I’m not allergic to anything! It’s pretty though.

I’m also working on finishing up this bag pattern. Hoping to have it available within a couple weeks! I got really frustrated with the last little bag I tried to design (this one) because I thought the zipper worked out funky and I was never happy with how the strap was just sewn on. I found these O rings online and I love them so much! They just give the bag a more professional, finished feel!

I’m also a lot happier with how the zippers/linings went this time! Now I want to dig out the other fringe bag I was designing and finish it. Sometimes you just need to take a break from things when they aren’t working and come back to them later I guess! :)
