little things to sew cozy summer hood

Granted, the hood in Little Things To Sew is meant to be used as a winter accessory, but I imagined it as a summer headcovering for Violet. She has a little pixie hat that I made for her, and LOVES to wear it, but it's getting a little snug so I figured a bigger hat was in order. 

This cute summer hat is lightweight and made of Valori Wells cotton print on the outside, some textured linen from a thrifted shirt on the inside, and twill tape tassles. The ears are meant to be stand up bear-like ears, but my brilliance shines yet again here as the ears were sewn in backwards, facing the wrong direction. So I left them hanging so they look like lamb ears. Violet looks pretty freakin cute in this thing, so here are several pictures of her looking cute.
