Hubby and I just returned from a fabulous trip to Singapore and Bali. As these are both incredibly hot places near the equator - or nearer than me - I decided I needed to have a hat to cover my head and protect my face and neck as much as possible.
I saw all the posts in the
Patterns for Pirates facebook group with folks making the
Set Sail Hat (it's a free pattern!), and I decided this would be a great way to use up some of my woven fabrics. I was so right!

First, I had to choose my fabrics, and I opted for two of my Doctor Who fabrics to make the hat. I thought the exploding TARDIS would be the outer view, but honestly, I love the filigree one so much more.

This hat came together in just three hours - that includes cutting out pattern, cutting out fabric, and putting it all together. It was super quick!

As a bonus, I decided to add in a grommet so I can clip the hat to my bag for easy carrying. I have a grommet kit from other projects, so I dug it out and in 2 minutes, I had my perfect hat for vacation!

I think I need to make one with a 7" brim now!
