Feels like we are living in a snow globe in wintery Canada right now! However, my new update for a few techniques to improve the Rosie Bucket "Cap" sewing pattern will hit our YouTube Channel (Mad Cap Hats) in the next day or two. I love how my glasses and face are perfectly dry in spite of everything Mother Nature threw our way this morning!

Sometimes all you need is a warm headband to get you through the cooler weather. This one covers your ears and fits nicely under a hood. We have a new Hat School tutorial video for this reversible cosy headband with ear protection and a free sewing pattern in two adult head sizes! Watch the video on our YouTube Channel Mad Cap Hats.
