A Little Change

 I had tried as I posted before to design my one stand alone website. I just gave up. Too many moving parts. So I had a very nice company design (Spiral Bridge Solutions) just a web page to get customers to my etsy store instead. I'm able to use my Curiousorangecat.com url instead of the whole etsy line. 

I still have so much work to do. Curious Orange Cat is doing ok. Not making me the big bucks but keeping me busy which is good. 

So enough of that!

I had some upcycled or decorated jeans on my Etsy site that just weren't getting any love at all. So onto plan B.  I decided to rework them into jean hats. 

Here is the first pair I'm going to work on.                                                                                                                                                                                             

I opened up the inner leg seams. (I noticed the pictures here make the jeans look more grey. But nope...they are very blue. Interesting how that works out. 

I cut off the back pockets to use on a different project later on. 

Now to get out my hat pattern and see if I can salvage these jeans into something else fun. 

A little off center, but I think it will work. Then onto the brim and top of the hat. 

The little bear patch was too far away to include it on the brim. Plus this little crochet flower was on the top tiny pocket and I didn't want to lose using it. So I cut it out and will add both to the top of the hat. 

Here is the layout. I also had a lining I had sewn but couldn't find a hat I liked to use it for. I think the colors will go great with this hat! Plus, I already sewed a wire into the edge of the brim. I'll have to find some fancy funky way to hide the wire later on. 

So Now to get sewing!!!
