bomber hat

[manlyman]

It's almost 3am and I fly out to Jersey for 3 weeks tomorrow morning and I have yet to pack.  At least I have taken care of the important stuff before going to bed.  Like making a Bomber Hat!



I am so tired and out of it, on two different occasions while making it I sewing the wrong pieces together....I am getting pretty handy with a seam ripper at least

Thanks.  The ear flaps could have come out a lot better(i'll try to post a side view so you can see how they are kinda on the pointy jagged side hahahaha) and I want to work on developing the brim to be more than just decoration, so I can wear the hat with the flaps tied up and the brim down.

your hat looks super nice.


i tried making one and i followed the measurements and instructions and everything and it turned out waaaayyyyy too tiny. i dont even have a big head, i'd actually say its on the small side. but the hat could fit a child, i could barely put it on.
