I really wanted to make something thoughtful for my boss and her new baby. After scouring the blogs for good baby patterns and found this booty pattern from Hello My Name is Heather (an awesome blog from this woman who has the most amazing studio ever, seriously it made Marie and I cry it was so beautiful.)

I did my own take on the booties and since my boss prefers more simple things I didn’t get to go as crazy decorating them as some of the other people that have made them did but I picked this really soft fleece and even stitched little W’s on the sides (the new baby’s last name).

But, I did create the pattern for the hat on my own. Here are the instructions for how to do it.

Materials needed

Fleece (2 colors)
sewing machine
thread

1. Fold fleece fabric in half and measure across 10 inches. Cut out a half circle.
2. Stitch along edges of circle allowing a 1 inch seam allowance around the outside.
3. Cut out a rectangle of the other fabric approx 20 inches. Stitch to the bottom of the hat while it inside out. Then flip hat out and stitch together bottom rectangle piece at the end to finish it off.
