Cote d'Azur Sun Hat

I made the Cote d'Azur Sun Hat by ShannonMac Designs!  This isn't my first ShannonMac design and it won't be my last!  Her patterns are easy to follow and turn out great every time!

The Cote d'Azur made me a little nervous, after all, who sews a hat?  This girl, that's who!  This pattern calls for quilting fabric and I knew just what I wanted to use!  I had this great light teal paisley swirl and I wanted a darker color under the brim to absorb the sunlight reflecting off the river when I'm tubing and hanging out in the water in Tennessee so I found a great medium grey cotton.

I went the free motion quilting route when sewing the brim and did a swirl pattern on the brim.  My daughter loves it and insisted on modeling it for the pictures!



Another great ShannonMac Pattern!
