Fabric Slouchy Hat Tutorial

Hi!

Many of you know, I have a small hat business - KOKAR- and I love my craft!

Sharing with you gals how I make them, not hard at all, just time consuming, but this is fun too! 

Relaxing too!

I make colorful and funky crochet hats, but people seem to love my fabric slouches.

I usually work with warm and cozy fabric with a stretch and I use my serger, but you can use a regular sewing machine too!

Fold your stretchy fabric in two  (lengthwise)

Cut a rectangle measuring 23 in width and 11 in height. 

Using a serger or a zig zag stitch sew sides together leaving 3 or 4 cm without sewing

. Turn inside out and sew this part. It will be the fold on the  bottom

Final measure will be 22 inches x 10 inches for a hat that fits most adults and teens and has a small slouch.

Fold the fabric in two and cut this shape

open. Sew the sides and leave the middle open

Now bring the sewing sides together so they face each other.

It will turn to this shape

Sew the open part ( looks like a half moon)

Done!

Another one , this time I cut a more round shape on top

From phone case to needle case

Hi!

Sorry all, I have been so busy with work and business that I hardly have time to come here , oh nooooo, so bad :(

But I decoded that I will save one day a week to post my crafty makings.

Today: My new needle case from an iphone case that I love and won't use any longer, as I have an iphone 6 for a while now.

Very easy, you all!

Just cut some felt to fit and use hot glue...well, this is it!

Reflections on daily Bible reading

Hi!!

Hey!! A shout out  for everyone who loves to read God's word and would enjoy some food for thought!

My husband has just started blogging his daily Bible reading and sharing his reflections on God's word!

Link here or on the icon on side bar!

An excerpt:

Discipline and reading 1/7/2017  0 Comments ..."We don’t accomplish much in life apart from self-discipline." That, from pastor/author/blogger Tim Challies,  who blogs at www.challies.com.   (Click here for his take on the joy of self-discipline.) Discipline is key to 'much in life,' to our productivity at work, home  and everything in between, whether we recognize our accomplishments  as stemming from it or not.   When it comes to reading our bibles, it can be easier to surf the internet,  perhaps the greatest distraction of the modern age.  But the reward in life from surfing  the internet is hardly comparable to the way our minds and hearts are changed by  reading the bible. We know that in our heads, but we default to other  distractions - like the internet - so easily...."
