Look What We've Made! Hats!

Early in the year Carole and the group spent time cutting up fabric pattern pieces from old jeans and vintage fabrics in order to create marvellous reversible sun hats.

During the summer sessions 

the fabric was sewn together

and modelled out on The Green Patch

Hats on - Here Comes the Sun!

In contrast to the photo above - the inspiration for the Puddle Jumping panel - this was a day of glorious sunshine so we were able to work outside Carole's studio between the ripening cherries and the two budlea.

 

The unusually strong sunlight lead to 

some creative approaches to headgear 

from Sonja Wilson who niftily 

converted her bag into a sunhat

and Phiona Richards who pressed her 

Transported hat into good service.

Whilst working, we also had the 

company of many butterflies and bees

and we're happy to report that the panel 

is progressing well!
