When I started making baby outfits I also include a hat to match the outfit. If there is not hat on the pattern, then I choose a hat from a different pattern. I decided to include hats not only because they are cute, but because we know so much more about the damage too much sun can do. So by including a hat, I am hoping the parents of the baby would remember to use hats more often on their precious babies when out in the sun.
Anyway, I discovered it was difficult to press those little 1/4" seams with my regular iron and not burn my fingers in the process. I remembered seeing ads, I think about a mini iron made for that kind of thing. When it was on sale at my local Hancocks Fabric store, my husband said to go ahead and buy it. Now I am finding it very useful for those little seams. The picture shows me using it on a baby hat which is on a pressing ham in a ham holder. The hat will go with a dress I am working on as a gift for a co-worker. The shower for that co-worker will be this Friday. When I finish the outfit I will post a picture of it. The picture in the side bar under fav product shows the full mini iron. It is by Clover and I got the set that includes a pouch and several different types of heads to attach to allow to iron just about any little thing. It also has a blade attachment that will allow you to cut vinyl by using the heat coming through the blade from the heat source.
