Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce you to Shelly, who writes over at Sew Shelly Sew and shares fantastic photos on her Instagram account: @sewshellysew. Dr. Seuss's birthday is coming up on March 2nd, and it’s always celebrated in such creative ways across the country. Many schools organize activities inspired by his beloved books. This year, Shelly decided to join in on the fun!
Last week, Sam’s school announced a spirit week leading up to Dr. Seuss’s birthday, with each day featuring a different theme based on one of his stories. Since tomorrow is Hat Day, inspired by "The Cat in the Hat," Shelly took it upon herself to create a special hat for Sam.
She started with the Oliver + S Reversible Bucket Hat pattern, which she easily modified to match the iconic look of the book’s character. By simply extending the side panel to 10 inches and dividing it into five 2-inch stripes, she achieved the perfect design. She used red fleece for the exterior and quilting cotton for the lining, adding heavy-weight interfacing to ensure the hat held its shape beautifully.
To prepare the pattern, she carefully marked the 1/2-inch seam allowance along the top and bottom of the side piece before cutting it in half. She extended the pattern vertically to reach the desired height and reconnected the two halves with a straight line. Once the new pattern was complete, she divided it into five sections, each representing a stripe. After cutting out the lining pieces, she moved on to the outer fabric, ensuring precise measurements for each segment.
Shelly meticulously assembled the hat by sewing the corresponding stripes together, creating loops for each stripe before joining them sequentially. The attention to detail in matching the side seams and centers made the final product truly impressive.
When it came time to present the hat, Sam was absolutely thrilled—this might just be his favorite handmade item yet! It was a joy for Shelly to create something that brought so much excitement to her child. She hopes Sam enjoys showing off his new creation at school tomorrow.
Here’s a sneak peek at how it turned out:
Thank you, Shelly, for sharing this delightful project with us! It’s inspiring to see how creativity can bring even more life to classic stories.
Stay tuned for more updates and crafty ideas from Shelly.
Cheers,
[Your Name]
