The Eyes Have It

OK. These were definitely a fave at the Mom's Market on Saturday! Cute, cuddly, and slightly anime, these guys were a last minute addition and I need to make more in bigger sizes. These are a really fun take on a classic toque, and a wonderful way to recycle a favorite sweater...

Toasty Roasty Jaunty Hats

The bonnets aren't the only style getting a fall make-over. The jaunty style of a brimmed hat with ear and neck protection built in are a great style for little guys and gals heading outside. They are mostly flannel lined, with wool, cord, or heavy cotton outer layers. I've been having fun with details, but can make a super clean and classic version as well. Some of them (see the red and black plaid) have button-up sides for built in jauntiness!

Toasty Roasty Bonnets

Fall is here, and it's time for toasty roasty hats. So the fall batch of bonnets is a mix of wool, corduroy, flannel, and denim in fun combos, with great really retro style and practical ear and neck wind coverage.
Here are a few of my fave combos. (I especially love the brown and pink one).

a few faves

I just made it through a hot but fun Artisan Market in Enderby, which I made a wack of hats for. Here are a few faves! Most of them sold, but I can make more...

Custom Options

So, as you know, I have my hats at the lovely Nurtured by Nature store in town, and I'm now also carried by mommytree.net, where I've posted some pics of fabrics and ribbon that I have in stock for custom stuff. I thought it only fair to post them here too so you can take a peek at some options. Bear in mind that I'm happy to use other fabrics of your choosing (or mine if it makes it easier for you). I love to make new combos, and am happy to make the size and style to suit you best! Enjoy:)

Wooo Wooo!! NEW: Engineer's Hat

Ok, so this might be my favorite boyish hat for the summer. It is light, fun, and a nice break from your basic ball cap. I'm loving it in the madras fabrics and I think I'm making one for me in a linen ASAP.

Sunny Days Hat

A current fave of mine for boys and girls is the Sunny Days hat. It has a nice all round brim for the sun, it flips up for fun style options, and is super light and flexible. It can be made reversible too.

Madras Madness

I had an order for a boy and found these great light madras fabrics and the big yellow buttons seemed like the perfect accent. They are super light and I think I might make one for me!

Spring Bonnets Bloom

Bonnets are back and this batch is available now at Nurtured By Nature, here in town. I can always do custom stuff too, but a few of the fabrics - like the great navy poppy one- are a limited supply and are one offs (sadly, as that is one of my all time faves so far). Spring is here and it's time to get those sun hats out!
