Review on Fleece Hat Friends: 25+ Simple Sewing Projects for Easy Creation by Angela Rodriguez

Many times my crafting experiments ended in distorted, sad versions of the example I was trying to follow. Not this time. I made an All a Buzz hat and a dinosaur hat and backpack set. They look just like the examples in the book! Nobody is more surprised by this than me. My only caveat about the book is that I agree with many reviewers that the basic hat pattern results in a fairly square hat with bulges at each corner. I just re-stitched this part until I got a smooth round look. I found the projects to be a good mix of machine and hand sewing as I enjoy doing both. Basically, I'm just glad I was able to make such cute handmade gifts for Christmas. Excellent book!
