Did I steal someone’s child for this weeks post? Maybe. Yes.
This is Luna, Nico’s BFF <3 She’s rough and tough and amazing. She usually comes over once a week and they make huge messes, argue over toys, play imagination and have the best time ever. This time around I asked her to be my model. She was mostly game but 90% of these photos she is watching Superwings.
This is the Slouchy Headwarmer from Patterns For Pirates. Yes, again. But yes what? IT’S FREE and I already warned you about my slight obsession with P4P. I promise that my next post isn’t P4P though.
This pattern is perfect for fall/winter – good thing we are going into spring. Either way, it’s a must. You can wear it as a hat, messy bun hat, headband, cowl/scarf, face warmer. The face warmer is great for the cold or even if you’re going 4-wheeling and you don’t want to breathe in all the dust.
The pattern is super easy to make and incredibly fast. I’ve made a few for myself and plan to make some more around the holidays for gifts. Luna’s head is 20″ so I cut out a piece of fabric with the width of 19″. On mine, my head is 22″ and I cut a width of 21″. You want to make sure you’re using a good stretch and recovery fabric for comfort.
I bought this fabric from JoAnn. It’s a cotton/lycra mix and exactly like all my custom fabrics I love. So way to go JoAnn! Also, bonus photo of Nico:
Overall, great FREE pattern and SO useful! This is also a great project for a newbie or child wanting to learn how to sew 🙂
