Using the idea from this post of beanie hats from a tutorial at The Rubber Punkin, I made these cute beanie hats (and the purses, too) using old t-shirts (and some I bought cheap at the thrift store).

They will be sold at the Country Store during the Texas County Free Fair at the OHCE area.  I also made some more ribbon tag blankets from this tutorial.

Everything turned out cute and was well-received by the other members at extension group tonight.  The fair starts August 12th!

So you still have loads of t-shirts you've been hoarding all these years?  Old places you used to work, old restaurants you used to eat at, old shirts you just couldn't get rid of...oh, it's just me?  Anyway, if you do find a couple of odd shirts you don't want to just throw out, here's a great idea from The Rubber Punkin:  t-shirt beanies!  Click on over.  You'll be glad you did!
