(You might want to get some pattern paper from the store & trace out the different sizes, rather than having to fold & unfold the original pattern piece.) 3/26/09 9:44 AM
ConnieBJ said... Shoot- Nicole does hats??! I must get this pattern! Great looking hat Leah! 3/26/09 9:58 AM

Karen6790 said... Wow. I've always admired her bag patterns, but I didn't know she did hats either. I'm sure Grandma will be thrilled with her gift - I certainly would be. 3/26/09 10:28 AM

JustTrina said... that's just one awesome hat! this is my first look at Nicole's patterns and they look great! too bad i don't make many purses, but i do plan on making lots of hats this spring/summer, thanks for the review and the intro to Nicole Mallalieu. 3/26/09 1:35 PM
petro said... Great hat, I like your choice of fabrics, its far more chic than the pattern examples. 3/26/09 4:10 PM
Kellie R. said... What a cute hat! You will have so much fun wearing this! 3/26/09 4:43 PM

Bronzewing said... makes me feel like making one too! 3/28/09 5:34 AM
Stacy Sews said... Thanks so much for the review! I was curious about this pattern and am happy to find out more information on it. I guess I'll be adding this to the list of patterns I'm getting from her! 3/28/09 10:40 PM
LiamsMummy said... Wow! I wouldn't have thought to make this hat with corduroy - I like what you've done with the flower on the inside of the hat. I bet your Grandma is pleased with her hat! 4/9/09 3:33 AM
LeahT said... Thanks for everyone's lovely comments! I sent the hat off to Grandma and just got a photo back of her wearing it - the colours suit her perfectly and the hat looks just smashing on her! 4/12/09 2:02 AM
Sew4Fun said... Great hat! I bought this pattern recently and hope to tackle it soon. Thanks for the review. I hope your Grandma liked it. 4/24/09 4:43 AM

Living Beauty said... Very informative and helpful review! I do love the hat, too! Only one problem...am I able to order hat patterns from this company, also? Do they ship to the US or is there a distributor her? 6/1/09 9:58 PM
LeahT said... Sorry for the late reply Living Beauty! If you check the stockist page on Nicole's website, you'll see a Californian distributor. Otherwise, yes, she posts internationally and it costs approx $7 (Australian $'s) to post one pattern (or sometimes 2 patterns) to the USA... Hope that helps! 6/28/09 12:35 PM
rjc said... Hi Leah,
Fancy meeting you here! [not that we have previously met in person] I am SO looking forward to doing this class. Was really impressed to find this review here. I have no idea what fabric to choose.
Roll on the 11th October.
Regards, Roma C.
[will your hat be on display?] 9/11/09 9:24 AM
LeahT said... Hi Roma, Yes, fancy "meeting" you here too! And lucky you to be taking a class - what I've learnt about hat-making, I've learnt from Nicole's pattern instructions only. They sure are fantastic! As the hat has been sent off to my grandma in SA, I can't even offer to leave it in the studio for you to see. I'm sure we'll get to meet one day Roma... :) Leah 9/15/09 6:27 AM
