Ponytail Cap Coming Soon!

Last month when I was at Swedish Medical Center in Denver (showing off my Hopeful and Bright ensemble with Art Gallery Fabrics!) I was chatting with the nurses about my caps. I had brought with me a fun "On Fire" scrub cap for my doctor and was showing it off to everyone. So Nurse Rick said he would send Kayleigh down as she is THE cap girl! One of the things she told me is that she LOVES her ponytail cap that she has from Blue Sky. It's her favorite.

So I knew I needed to add this style cap to my offerings as well. But how to design one? I didn't think I was a great pattern designer. Well, to be honest I don't think the people who actually design patterns are that good either! Sometimes I'm at a complete loss to come up with the "logic" the pattern designers used when writing up the steps. I'm convinced it is actually all just a funny joke they play on us and are secretly laughing when they take us in circles and make us do unnecessary steps. Anyways, the point is that after doing so many "alterations" to other patterns in general I figured I could create a ponytail cap no problem!

This past weekend we spent in Tahoe with my in laws. And Sunday morning Pam and I got working on some sewing projects, including the Ponytail Cap! I think I've got a good design created and it worked quite well when I tested on myself :) I'll be back in Denver next week with a prototype for Kayleigh to try out. And hopefully it will get her stamp of approval. Will post pics next week of her modeling it!

In the meantime, here are a couple pictures of products that have been ordered and shipped out! A fabulously colorful Flower Power gown, and a super strong robot cap! (I apologize for the sad iPhone pics but my camera is still enjoying a vacation in Tahoe!)
