This week I decided to make myself a new purse. I’m quite picky when it comes to bags so designing and making my own allowed me to customize it just the way I wanted.

I had a lot of fun designing this sun hat for myself and I love how it turned out! I used a the Lily Sugar n’cream cotton yarn – one skein of white and one of red, white and blue ombre. The colors in the ombre skein randomly pooled in a way that gives this hat splashes of color so…
