Try to ignore the old woman in the picture. This is my hat I had to ask hubby to help me remember how to use a compass. First try the brim was to big but this is my second try and what do you think. It is a ponytail hat for summer weather we have been getting too early.

Great job! Love the idea! I have a couple hats that I don't wear when my hair is longer unless it' down - this will make a big difference! I'll have to give this a try!

i am still looking for the old woman all i can see is a beautiful hat and a great selection of embroidery threads......soozie

all I can see is a great hat on a very pretty woman am I missing something? I love this type of hat where ever did you find this pattern? ~hugs~

Still looking for the "Old woman" can't find her. I just see a lovely lady wearing a very pretty hat.

What old woman are you talking about? All i see is a lovely lady working on her crafts. Hugs mumzyfarm I love the hat that is just what I needed when I wore my hair in a pony tail.

Oh Mary I love it ") Much better than a ole' ball hat cuz this will cover the top of your ears where the skin is so tender. Honestly...the first thing I thought of when I saw this is, "she is an Angel" .... you have a Halo ... the two nodules on your back are where your wings are about to sprout ") Your generous, kind & have a pure heart. It all make sense now, you are living proof that good people sill exist in this ole' world. (p.s. i finished the 3 piece modern-tree set-i will take pics & post when onesie drys)

must be comfortable when the sun shines and if you have a ponytail like you :)

Great hat for the summer! don't you hate it when you want to wear your hair back but the hat won't allow it or it's very uncomfortable sqashing the ponytail in my gd hates this with her school hat but it's no hat no play here in Australia..

Nice hat. I don't have enough hair for a ponytail. I can get caught in the wind and no one knows. Kay

Very nice hat! Love the flower trim plus the brim should be big enough to keep out the sun. You did a very nice job, love your pictures. Love your long blond hair. I keep mine short, let's not talk about age. I am 39 and holding. lol! (not) sharo

Thanks, I am not to my next milestone which is 80 from there, Lord only knows. Oh I am getting mostly white lol. I had 7 hairs of white not long after I married. They say a head of white hair is a sign of wisdom. I got a ways to go yet.But the saying sounds good anyways.

well I'm sporting the MItt Romney look, white from the temples down, then lots elsewhere so my dark hair this still exists in sparse areas looks almost black, but never had black hair, just dark brown. lol! I asked a co worker yesterday and she said I might want to start coloring it again, as my white is mighty. Hahahaha!!!!

Oh,I'm so excited! A hat!-lol...It really looks nice.Am I to understand,you made the pattern up? If so,great job! Nice meeting you, with your new hat!...... I think everyone should make one,altho this one I don't need the ponytail-hole,I cut my hair off.-Toogie

I did make pattern it ties in back, it was easy once I got the compass and made hole and brim.

Great figuring your hat pattern.We need to team up-you make the hats and me the bags to match!-lol

Lovely hat but then I saw your collection of threads, what a selection

Thanks, I still have hidden threads as there always a new color or thickness that is needed.

Love your hat Mary and also love the picture of you, which will go into my Cutie file!! I just love your collection of threads - makes my collection look very meager. Sarah

Bless your heart. I won't tell hubby about what you said about threads he might think I got too many.

by sewilso 15 May 2014

Uh, Mary, one look will tell him that. lol! You can never have enough thread, fabric or shoes. That is a given, right?

What a fantastic idea, I love it.
Hugs pam.
