Time for a sewalong and a giveaway!

It’s been 2 months since my release of the Orion Hat sewing pattern and I think it’s time for a sewalong and a giveaway!

I want to give YOU the tools you need to succeed in sewing your hat and to have fun in the process. So, I am really excited to announce that Eversewn has generously sponsored the following items as part of this sewalong and giveaway.

Giveaway details

Here’s what you can win from this giveaway:

• Rotary cutter (45mm)

• Cutting mat (12” x 18”)

Cutting the curves of the hat pattern 16 times will be zippy with this duo!

• Walking foot

Avoid nasty puckering with thick fabrics or “sticky” fabrics like faux leather with this nifty accessory.

• Fabric clips (10 count)

Hold novelty and/or thick layers of fabrics together easily with these colourful clips.

• 2 x faux leather fabric sheet in maroon and black

Can we be matching and have the same maroon hat?

• A digital copy of my Orion Hat sewing pattern

I mean, the whole point is to encourage you to sew a hat, right? XD

Sewalong details

The original Orion hat in medium-weight corduroy

A beret version of the same Orion hat sewing pattern

For this entire week, I will be making another Orion hat for myself using the faux leather fabric sheet in maroon, also sponsored by Eversewn.

My original hat pattern is designed and tested on medium-weight wovens but I know you know I know there’s no real rules in sewing. So, I decided to challenge myself to make one in a different fabric!

I will be sharing my process of making this hat together on a daily basis from Wednesday until the hat is done, which ideally will be Saturday or Sunday.

If you have purchased the hat pattern, I hope you can sew along with me. If not, I hope you will have fun watching my process.. and perhaps win something for yourself at the end of it!

I have been planning this for a while and I am so excited to finally get it going. Let’s make cute stuff together!
