One of my coworkers requested a custom hat with a vintage, retro feel. I drew a quick concept sketch for her and realized we were on the same page. I sat down to work on the project on the weekend, and it turned out exactly like I had in mind. I brought it to work today to show her and she loves it! I have to make one little adjustment (addition of a bendy clip) but otherwise I’m thrilled with it!
Here are some not-so-good pictures. I’ll try to get some better, modeled photos tonight.
