Speaking of mending, I did a quick fix on a hat this week. Although Goen has many hats, he has only one sun hat, and it has seen a lot of wear this summer. It got to the point where the binding on the brim was shredded in places and threatening to tear right off. I removed the old binding and put on some bright, cheerful binding left over from another project. The hat looks so much more "him" now than it did before. And it certainly gave the hat new life. I thought about writing a full tutorial, but it seems so easy that I decided a picture tutorial would be enough. If it's not, just drop me a line or leave a question below and I'll answer. Of course, as soon as I finished that fix, I noticed another hole wearing through at the top. But that's a fix for another day.
With the start of a new school year, the typical illnesses have made their way into our family. One after another, we have all come down with a slight cold. Nothing major, luckily. But it certainly makes life a little harder for a short time. My husband's cold is just gearing up while my little one and I are on the mend.

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
