Hats Off to Stampin' Up!

My good friend Kari Ransom asked me to figure out how to make a hat out of SU's designer paper. Well she showed me a picture of what she wanted but there was no pattern or instructions so I thought , "I can figure this out, no problem". Okay, first of all, I sew but not very well. Secondly, I suck at math. BIG TIME!! I called my mom to ask if she had any ideas, but she's all the way in Michigan and she felt I needed a pattern. (Which I didn't have and couldn't find) So then I called my SIL Gaye, and she so sweetly agreed to come over and help me. Well, after cutting out butcher paper and playing with it for a while we finally came up with a prototype. It turned out really cute. Kari came over and said she loved it, so we set to work. Here are some pictures of our final products. Kari and her friend will be wearing these to convention. If you plan on going, let me know if you see them and what you think of them in person. We originally didn't put a stitch line in the bill of the orange hat as you can see in the single picture. We felt it looked so much better though with stitch line so we added it and took the picture of both of them together. Hope you like them Kari!!!!
