In my job there is a concept called ‘MVP’. It means minimum viable product, which is part of an iteration process that promotes getting something out and eschewing perfection. In the quilt world, I like to say ‘there is always more fabric’.
I finished my Sun Hat. It is a MVP.
I thought I had done everything properly. I was unsure about my progress, so I had Mary C help me at a recent Sew Day. I redid the brim piece after leaving the seams out meant the brim was too big for the crown. Still, there was so much adjusting and redoing that the hat just doesn’t look right. The side parts of the crown fold in too much on the top and I had to ease in the size when I sewed the pieces together.
It didn’t come out as well as I had hoped, but it isn’t terrible and someone will wear it and like it. I want to try again. I bought the Sew Hungry Hippie Bardot hat pattern. I haven’t started it yet, but may try to get it done soon.
This hat turned out so cute, I love the way the fabric looks especially on the very top of the hat. Sorry that it didn’t work out for you though, someone will love it.
Yes, the fabric is great and I fussy cut pieces so it would look that way. I will use the same fabric for the next version.
