It has been a really busy past few months and I feel I was really out of touch with the business and all my great customers. Things are now settling down and it feels good to be spending more time keeping in touch with people.
Here is a newsboy cap I made a few years back for Matthew. I totally forgot about this pattern until I was cleaning up my old computer files. I think really it would look great made up in any colour combination but I chose this for Christmas:)
Have fun and I hope lots of you out there can get some use out of this.
As always feel free to make and sell but please respect my copyright and do not copy or sell as your own.
Much Love
