A friend of mine has the cutest little denim cap. I decided to try and copy it. So, in order to get some already faded denim, I went to the thrift store and purchased (on half-off day) the largest pair of jeans I could find on the rack for a mere two dollars.
I made the cap! Mine is slightly different, in that the band on hers was pieced from more than one strip of fabric and I decided to keep it simple the on my first try. The back of it sports a little denim bow, and the front is very plain, no brim. It has gentle elastic going through the front band which stretches out flat when worn.
It's a teensy bit more snug than I wanted it to be. Oh, well. Looks really cute on my youngest daughter, though!
Additionally, I made another book cover. This one is for my very first Morning Coffee blog giveaway!
So, if you would like a book cover made to fit the Jordanville prayer book, in plain denim with pink and purple dots on the inside lining fabric, drop me a line in the comments box, with your e-mail. All comments are moderated, so I won't post it if you ask me not to. If you do decide to participate, it would be nice if you dropped a separate comment without your e-mail that I could publish, as well. I will draw the winner's name next Monday, June 2, 2008.
US and Canada only, please. I don't want to ship anything to India. Sorry.
For all you non-Jordanville prayer book owners out there: It's a good prayer book. I recommend it highly.
Or, you can wait, and I'll do another blog give-away, soon. ;-)
Just to be clear, the hat is not part of the deal. We are hanging on to that.
Oh, and I thought I'd mention: Both these little projects were done with ONE LEG of that very large pair of jeans.

Love, love the hat and the prayer book cover (which is the best prayer book ever).
