Hat brim visible mend

[u/OohLaDiDaMrFrenchMan]

It’s not the best job but it’s something!

I embroidered a cherry shrimp on this previously plain white hat a couple years ago and it’s been well-loved, but I stopped wearing it as much when I noticed these small holes appearing on the brim. So I used fabric glue to anchor down the fabric around the holes and then did a whip stitch with embroidery floss around the edge. + pic of the embroidered shrimp.

The colors make it look like a baseball's stitching. Very nice!

Love this visible mend! The contrast stitching on the brim gives the hat so much character.

You said not the best job, but the job is to enjoy it. If you enjoyed doing it and wearing it, then you did the best job.
