Angry Bird and Pig Double Sided Hat

The red bird side (made before I drew out the pattern)

Pig side

I used this hat pattern: Simplicity 1953, hat C.  I used the main hat piece and added my own embellishments on it to create the faces.    

Click on the images to print the pattern pieces (my first shared pattern!) they are sized to be printed onto standard U.S. paper size.  You may use my pattern for personal use only, please ask before making items to sell with my pattern, it may be available for commercial sale.  This would work well on t shirts, stuffed animals, hats, anything!

Mustached Pig Pieces

Red Bird Pieces

Cut out your hat pattern pieces, one in red and one in green.  I use fleece because it does not fray and it keeps you very warm during the winter months.

Cut out the pattern pieces

sew small pieces that go on larger pieces with a close zig zag stitch.   Use Black thread for the pieces to help make them look more cartoon-like and emphasize the features.

Sew together the pig ear pieces and the red bird feather together, right sides together.  Trim pieces and turn right side out.

Pin pieces onto hat pattern

Sew On with a tight zig zag stitch that will add a black border around the pieces

Place the pig pattern pieces

Sew pieces on

pin and stitch hat pieces together

Pin the red feather to the top of the hat and pin the top seam closed.

There you have one half of your hat.  Do the same for the pig side.

Put the faces together, right sides together.

Match back seams and pin all around the bottom of the hats.

When sewing the pieces together, I like to do coordinating thread to the top and bottom of the hat.

Turn right side out, pin the opening closed and stitch shut.

Open the hat and up and shape.

If you want to have the black around the pieces more exaggerated, cut pieces slightly larger out of black and put them under the pieces and stitch on.

Cute!
