Back in 2016 we did a trip with some friends from east to west, coast to coast, across our great country and on stopping off in the centre at Uluru/Ayers Rock for a visit, I purchased a hat that took my fancy. The reason was that here in Australia, particularly in our outback, is that there are lots and lots of flies. So to find a hat with flies all over it was what was needed.
The only problem was that it was 'one size fits all'! Well, for me, 'one size fits all' does not fit.
So finally a few weeks ago, I began to unpick it.
This was quite a task as it was fully lined, however not to be deterred, I got it all apart and then came the job of trying to make it the right size for me.
After a couple of false starts, I was able to get a very good fit.
Now I will be able to 'look the part' with the flies when we start off on our next adventure later in the year. We will have 2 other couples travelling with us who have not ventured to the outback before. Think we will have a great trip.
However, there is more stitching to be done before then. Oh, and putting everything back into our caravan!
All for now, take care and look after yourselves,
June
My problem with hats is that they are usually too small! Good on you for tackling such a tricky job.
ReplyDeleteHoo on you for adjusting your hat. It is such a hub one. I also find most hard too large. I found one at our local information centre which adjusts and still looks good, which I bought straight away.
