Winner and Quick n Easy Girls Winter Hat Pattern

Congratulations to Smileykylie for winning the 10 half yards of Barefoot Roses! Thank you all so much for taking the time to enter and say something nice. I have to say, you girls are just all so incredibly nice!!! I'm astounded and touched every day at the lovely comments people leave on my blog and so many others. It's just such a lovely supportive place, this crafty blogging world, and I'm so glad I found it and started this thing. Every single one of your comments is like a little gift, so just thanks to you all.

I made this little cloche like hat for Ava this week. So totally easy, I swear after cutting it took about 20 minutes to put together. I made it from that minky stuff and it's fuzzy on both sides so it's super soft and warm. And I love that it doesn't require a lining which I find to be the most annoying part of making a hat. So, I posted another PDF in 2 parts, hat directions and hat pattern, all the way down on the left, the last 2 downloads under Free Patterns. All the free patterns are over there in the right column under Free Grand Revival Patterns. I want to make a hundred of these now, that's how I get when I really like something I've made (usually I just make 4 or 5, get bored, and move on to something else). Talk to you soon...

I just rang my friend Kylie to tell her she has won the competition- YIPPEE! I can't wait to see what she makes out of your scrumptious fabric. Thank you Tanya for your wonderful generosity.

Yipppeeee!!! Can't wipe the smile off my face :) Thank you again Tanya for such a generous gift. You are such a creative and talented soul. Oh the possibilities! What a blessing, now to do it justice!

The gorgeous hat will have to wait till winter as it's Summer here in Australia, warm and sunny beach weather. There's nothing quite like hanging Christmas lights in 40 degree heat and getting a phone call from your girlfriend to tell you that you've won! Thanks Janelle.

Precious hat! My 10 year old would definitely approve. very chic!
I like that you said it's only 20min to sew. (another perk!)
I have been knitting hats over the summer, but putting some like these together before the holidays will really come in handy as great gifts. Thanks for the inspiration.
Now to find "minky" fabric. Not sure what that is, but i'm sure some sweet, gentle fabric-lady will point me in the right direction.
sincerely,marilyn

Lovely!
This is perfect! I was looking to get my little niece a hat, but didn't like any of the ones I saw.
Thank you soooo much for the free pattern. I already have some of that wonderful minky fabric, so I'm all set to sew!

Thanks for the darling hat pattern! Can't wait to try it for my new granddaughter. Question, when printing out your pattern do I change scaling to "none" so it will be the correct size?
Thanks for the info.

I can't find the pattern for the darling hat.
Is it still there or am I just bling?
