Tutorial: Scrappy Sun Hat for babies

Jessica from Running With Scissors guest blogs in the Scrap Your Stash series at Living With Punks with a free pattern and tutorial for making a Scrappy Sun Hat to keep the sun off of baby’s tender head. The ruffled brim helps keep the sun off of baby’s face, and the elastic chin strap keeps the hat in place. And because the hat is pieced together, you can make use of smaller pieces of fabric, mixing and matching your scraps for a fun look. Get the pattern and tutorial.
