For reasons I can't really explain, I've been wanting to make a bucket hat to enjoy this summer. While I'd been bookmarking tutorials and patterns for a bit, this tutorial from Sweet Red Poppy caught my eye and I decided to give it a go!
Choosing the fabric almost took longer than making the hat. I wanted a solid on one side and a print on the other but I didn't want to cut into my very special fabric in case it didn't turn out. After much fun going through my stash, I happened upon a large scrap from fabric I used for a quilt back years ago. It was perfect! And I has a light orange creamsicle solid that matched perfectly.
My youngest liked it so much that they want one for their very own! Time to go stash shopping again!

I made more hats!!
Your new hat turned out brilliantly. It's always nice when our kids like what we make and ask for one too :)
ReplyDeleteThat hat is really cute! I might have to make one (or two)! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choice and a nice looking design - I'm not surprised it was quickly claimed by your youngest!
ReplyDeleteYour hat looks great! I've been wanting a bucket hat too, but haven't found one I liked. I guess it's time for me to think about making one. Love the print on yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun! And it was a treat to make too, wasn't it? I made a reversible bucket hat a couple years ago, using a free Mr. Domestic pattern on the Brother USA blog. The styles are very similar. Enjoy wearing yours. I don't wear mine often because it blows off when I'm in the golf cart!
ReplyDeleteLovely hat Patty; I just downloaded the pattern too. I love the fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteYour bucket hat looks great. What weight of interfacing did you use?
