Megan came home for a quick visit. She worked the night shift, then drove 15 hours, was here for 3 days, drove back, and worked the next day. The last day she was here, I realize I should have made her a new welding cap. Well, I had the day to make one! And it's a good thing I hadn't made one because she picked out a combo I wouldn't have LOL.
I looked back at my last post on the welding caps to refresh my memory what I did. It still left questions LOL.
This was the inside so not a huge deal. She doesn't like to reverse sides; one is always the inside after the first wearing.
It feels a little dull to me. She likes it though.
She wouldn't model it--too busy doing something with Dad. So I found a stand in, using the fun faces.
She'd like something a little more stiff, like the one we bought on Etsy for her birthday two years ago. I found a Toronto fabric store with a good online shopping website, and they have some different canvases. I ordered some fabric for another project and they sent samples. One was for the solid colour canvas. I think it will work well! It's still pretty lightweight, but stiffer than quilting cotton. You can see the weave, and it's a bit open (not like, a mesh), but I suspect it will bloom when washed.
Have you used any canvas types fabric for welding caps? Let me know!
