These visors will keep your head feeling cool and ventilated while protecting your eyes and face from the sun, preventing furrowed brows and headaches.
The pattern includes directions for visors in three styles:
1. The small Sunglasses Visor is designed to slide onto your glasses or sunglasses, keeping the sun out of your eyes with no hat hair or headache!
This is a sun visor you should wear every day, year-round! Keep one in your purse, the glove compartment of the car, and your luggage so you are always prepared for a sunny day.
2. The medium-sized Sporty Visor sports a 3½” brim and will keep you out of the sun and in the fun while keeping you looking hip and trendy.
3. The larger Wide-Brimmed Visor provides maximum protection of the face, ears, and neck and is perfect for the beach, golf, tennis, gardening or any outdoor activity.
ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable gives the visors comfy body and stability, while ensuring that they’ll be lightweight and easily washable for long-lasting wear.
A twist-cord back makes the projects extra easy while providing for a perfect, no-headache fit and comfort.
Note from Annie:
When I conceived this project, my first thought was to make a visor using Superior Threads' SunBurst thread to embroider a design on the visor. I asked a friend, Verny Thompson, to embroider a design for me which I then cut out and used for a visor. I love how the design changes from a beautiful all-white design to an explosion of color when the wearer goes outside. (See images above.)
I wasn't as happy with how the fabric wrinkled when I constructed the visor. If you want to embroider a design on your visor using SunBurst thread, I recommend that you put your fabric on a layer of Soft and Stable and embroider through BOTH layers. That will give some stability to the embroidery design and should eliminate the wrinkling problem. On the Wide-Brimmed Visor, you may need to do some stitching through both layers to secure the top layers to the bottom layer of fabric to avoid wrinkling on the bottom.
