Thrifty Thursday

Yep, it's Friday. We'll just leave it at that.
A while back, I saw this hat on Pinterest and immediately loved it.
                          
Even better, it's a free pattern!! The designer behind the pattern is Yuki who lives in the Netherlands. She has a number of patterns that she sells on Etsy. A couple of my favorites are;
This great jacket and....
          
this super cute and feminine baseball jacket.
                  
I downloaded the Newsboy cap and here's my version.

I decided to have some fun with my fabric choice. After all, it is a Newsboy cap :) I found the fabric on Etsy here. 

Since I made the cap out of a quilting type cotton, I interfaced the entire cap. The brim needs to be a little stiffer, so I interfaced both sides of the brim and I interfaced one side with 2 layers of interfacing.

 The snap is not in the instructions, but I added the snap to help hold the brim and cap in place.

The cap is lined with another piece of cotton and I piped the brim and the back of the cap with a piece of striped fabric.

I really love my new hat!

The pattern comes in 2 sizes and I found the sizing to be very accurate, so be sure to measure your head prior to printing. I have a rather large head, so I printed out the larger size. The cap also fits my husband, so I plan to make a wool version for him. So you see, this pattern gives you the ability to even make a gift for your husband or son or whoever the guy might be ;) Yuki's instructions are very easy to follow and the graphics are great too.
