Thank-you, Jo. I don't know if they are back in style, but I've seen a few about here lately.
I'm always trying to find items to add embroidery to and these seemed like a good way to go.

Thank-you. One of my difficulties is that I like so many designs, that I could make more hats than I could get rid of.lol

48168I love them, the designs are great and make each of the barrets unique. Great work!
What material did you use, wool or fleece, and what is the diameter of the top?

Hi mops. For some of the hats I used fleece. Others I used moleskin, suede, and faux suede. I want to make a few from linen type fabric. It never gets very cold here in southern California, and the fleece hats would be used for only a short period of time. I think wool would be wonderful to use, too. The diameter of the crown is 12 1/2" There is a small 4" piece of elastic in the back in the band to make them a bit more adjustable.

Thank-you jettedk. Yes, they are all from the same pattern. They have tuts on the internet on how to make a barret. It is quite easy to do. You should try it.
1012What a wonderful collection, you must have been busy to produce all these hats. There are some great embroidery designs. Please where is the design 2nd in on the middle row from?

Thank you, asterixsew. If I have the design that you are looking for correct(the one that looks a bit like a very full feather?) I got it from Dainty Stitches archives. http://www.daintystitches.com/vie... You get 12 designs for $1. It was design #7 from that set that I rotated a bit. She has some wonderful designs in these archives and for only $1 a set. The ones I've used stitch out beautifully without any problems.

Thank-you, Shirlene. I really enjoy matching fabric and design. It's a large part of the fun of machine embroidery for me.
