Canadian soldiers have gone to work in long-term care homes to fight novel coronavirus outbreaks. A boy fascinated by all things military has a glimpse of unlikely places troops are deployed to in peace time. This hat was made for that boy. It also gives a nod to the unique role played by the soldiers as front-line workers in a time of need.
I sewed the bush hat from a pair of old camouflage pants. As I went to harvest pieces of fabric for the hat, I discovered pant pockets made of a matching light polyester material. There was also a descriptive label complete with washing instructions. Always on the lookout for creating something fun, I decided to use both to line the inner aspect of the bucket.
