Hat Refashion: Old Hat, New Hat

Once upon a time I had a favorite hat.


Until the sad, sad day that the snap broke in the back.


I bought a new one in blue, but I couldn't part with this one.  
I decided to see if I could resurrect it somehow.

I sketched out this little idea out and turned it into fabric appliqué.


Then stitched it onto my hat covering the old design.


To fix the back I just picked out the seam and took out the plastic snaps and added some velcro in its place.


I think it came out kinda cool!  
It's definitely a unique piece.


I have another old hat I want to try this out on, too.
I like that I can wear my fabric art pieces.
Super fun!
What do you think?

What a good idea. I love the dark tree against the bright colours aswell, really makes a statement. Well done.
