You may remember that about seven months ago I replaced the brim binding on Goen's sun hat because it was falling apart from so much use (it had already been worn for a few years before he was born, so it had a head start). (By the way, I'm still laughing about the little pun I just made.) This past week I had to revisit the hat and replace the circular top piece because it was paper thin and had a hole. After removing the bound seam and the circular piece, I traced a new one from the old. The fabric I chose is similar in color, so it's difficult to notice it isn't the original. Goen didn't even notice, and I decided not to bring it up. I'm sure it won't be long before the hat needs more love, though. The whole thing is close to falling apart. But every time I fix it, it adds more personality and I just can't see myself parting with it yet.

Hi. My name is Carley. I love to sew, craft, and create. As a Jane-of all-crafts so to speak, I enjoy sewing, writing, cooking, drawing, photographing. But the constant thread (if you'll excuse the pun) throughout my weeks is needle arts. Archives
