for my brother's christmas present, i decided to customize a cycling hat.

(this is not my brother, this is my cat acting as a model.)

i drew his name in old tattoo letters

(because he has a tattoo, you see)

and then traced it with a sharpie pen so i could see it enough to sew but not so much that it would show through the stitching
then i started sewing
then it was done!!

and it looks awesome, even on me.
