Have you made a Hat?
My sis said that “bucket hats” are very popular these days.
Have you made one?
Many years ago I did make some hats for my kid’s choir - can’t remember what year that was now. I’m not sure they would be called “bucket hats” but they were hats with a bit of quilting on them to make the brim stiffer. Well, not quilting as with batting - just interfacing. If I can find a photo, I’ll put it here. But it was quite a while ago and I can’t remember what year it was.
So, tell me….
Have you made one?
I did a quick search and found a couple of free patterns.
Here they are.
The second link has one in five sizes…and free! We like free patterns. :)
The really cool thing about these hats - think how cute you can make them with some awesome quilting fabric? Think Kaffe Fassett or some novelty prints. What fun would that be?
No need to make a plain blue or black one - go with fun prints!
Here is a reversible one with a tutorial on You Tube.
I do think, however, if you can sew a basic quilt, you can make one of these hats! I didn’t find a hat difficult to make - even though I was using corduroy and it was my first time (eosn ago).
Here’s another pattern. There are probably myriads of them!
Let me know - and if you are on the Facebook group - show us if you’ve made one. Would love to hear about it! I wish we could show pics in the comments but I don’t know how.
Anyway - thanks for coming along with me on this journey! Have a great day wherever you are reading this!
