Hello!!! Thank you for stopping by! I just finished my 3rd welding hat sewing project. (first one, a disaster, second one better but till not happy with, but it did fit!) Found the pattern online for free, had the pieces lay out and instructions, but for me being a semi-beginner sewer, i couldnt follow them. so i made the second hat using a blog that had some tips. turned out good, but needed another hat made, and i found another blog that had a tutorial. really awesome, but, still some parts i didnt like.. so i winged it just a little.. and added elastic. the hat my cousin gave me to use as a guide had elastic but all the ones i found online havent had it... but i did add it to both hats i have made so far. this one is reversible and completely 100% cotton. :) now on my to do list: crochet tigger crochet monkey sashay scarf that is my must do list within the next week.. or two. Have to run and get busy! ~hazel~crochetamo
