Mick's entry for the competition.OK, a bit late to the party here, but I started a completely different project for the competition, and that went very, very wrong. My fault for choosing a raw material that was just too difficult for someone of my modest ability to work with.
So this was a bit of a last minute rush.
Raw materialDW gets these smocks issued by the place where she works.
She gets a new one every year, and they don't want the old ones back.
The project.I've had this hat for ages. It's comfy and fits well, but it's falling to pieces.

SoMade the hat into a hat pattern.
And used the hat pattern to make a hat.
Sounds easy when you say it quickly...
I re-used the plastic peak stiffener, and the velcro strips from the original hat. The inner band came from the bits-and-bobs-box.
Bought the coverable button for the top, and the patch came free with a Bike magazine, some time in the 1980's. It's been on at least one denim jacket and a couple of pairs of jeans since, but is still in good nick, considering.
