Silly Panda Hat

Newer Older

One of the items I sell on my website: a white hat with panda ears and a panda face, 100% acrylic. This is one I recently completed, with a special request for a birthday label, and will be sent to a customer in Italy (hence, the multilingual birthday greeting!). I've just started experimenting with attaching labels on my items, using ribbon and fabric squares. I'm hoping to possibly order some labels, or make more professional looking ones, but for now, I like the handmade look as it reflects on the handmade item the person is receiving.

Regarding my attempt at 50 crafty projects in 2007, I am still currently at 39. I've been working on a number of things, such as this hat, cakes for consignment, and other shop-related goods -- I don't count these as my crafty projects (even though, they are!), as they are sort of "work" related. The 50 crafty projects in 2007 is in regards to my own personal crafting (items for myself, items for gifting, etc. etc.). I'm currently working on a pair of Squirrelly Swedish Mittens, and am 50% complete! That will soon be Project #40.

    I want to make something like this for my brother for Christmas - is there any way you could send me a pattern?

    Hi Sarah,
    The pattern is not available but basically just make a standard beanie in the round using white and freeform the ears and facial pieces.

  14. mmmfruit 17 months ago | reply

    Hello hotbluesequins!
    At the moment, I'm working overseas so I closed my business about two years ago. However I'll be returning to the US and may start selling things again. Please follow my Flickr or Twitter account for updates. Thanks!
