Baby Hat & Short Set for Mel

My sister asked me to make something for a friend of hers that recently had a baby boy, and this is what I came up with:



My neighbours daughter kindly modelled the outfit. The hat I usually make with lots of strips spiralling around the hat but I thought I might try something different. The hat is bucket style and fully reversible. I don't use fusing or interfacing in the brim. I find an extra layer of fabric holds nicely. I put a bit of elastic in the back of this one too.
