\"Sun<\/a>
Sun Hat #2 finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2024, I started it with great hope as a quick project<\/a> after spending a very hot day in the Portland Rose Garden. I did finish one version<\/a>, which was, as we say at work, MVP<\/a>. It was a free pattern that I am sure worked great for the designer, though it didn’t work for me.<\/p>\n

For the second version I used the Bardot Bucket Hat pattern<\/a> from Sew Hungry Hippie<\/a>. I can wear it. It is really big, so I definitely can’t wear it in a windstorm! <\/p>\n

\"Sun<\/a>
Sun Hat – lining side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I like the directions in the Bardot pattern better than the free pattern. I was able to make the pattern with no problems.<\/p>\n

I used the same fabric for the lining as for the exterior. If I can figure out the sizing, I may make another one with two fabrics. <\/p>\n

\"Sun<\/a>
Sun Hat – big brim<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pattern has two or three brim sizes. I used the medium brim, however it seems very large. On the third one (see below), I’ll try a different brim size. <\/p>\n

I also used Pellon 926, which I found at the Granary<\/a>. Actually, Carrie<\/a> found it and I thought it would be good for this hat and I am very pleased with how it looks and feels. The hat is not too stiff. <\/p>\n

I did start a third one using another size in the pattern. I don’t have enough of the flowery fabric for the lining, so I am contemplating coordinating fabrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
