With the rainy season in full swing, I decided to take advantage of the weather and monetize my sewing skills. After making a beanie hat for myself and wearing it to the office, my colleague was amazed that I made it myself. He asked me to make a blue beanie for his baby to match her Sunday church outfit. Instead of buying new fabric, I used some scrap fabric I had at home. This project not only saved me money but also earned me enough to pay for a decent meal. Here’s how I made a cute, custom baby beanie with bear ears!
Start by drawing a box measuring 10 inches in length and 9 inches in width on a piece of paper.
Mark the midpoint and draw the midlines. At the sides, mark 3 inches from both sides and 1 inch at the very top. Connect the 3 inches marks to the 1 inch marks using a curved ruler. On the midline at the top, mark 3.75 inches and connect it slantly to the 1 inch mark at the top.
Transfer your pattern to the fabric. I used my leftover blue fabric, which was just enough for this project.
Take the round fabric pieces and gather them with a running stitch to create a bear ear shape.
Here’s the finished baby beanie with bear ears, ready for Sunday church!
This project was a fun way to use up leftover fabric and earn some extra cash. If you have basic sewing skills and some scrap fabric, you can make adorable custom hats for kids and even start selling them. Remember, nothing means nothing except the meaning you give to it, so give your craft a purpose!
