Reversible Bucket Hats

I guess bucket hats have made a come back! I remember wearing them while growing up in the 90s. So when I was deciding what to make for this month's Summer Craft Blog Hop, my mind immediately went to bucket hats! At first, I thought about crocheting a granny square bucket hat, but then I decided to give my hands a rest and sew some instead. I have a bunch of fabric from when I was making masks, so I decided to use some of those fun fabrics to make bucket hats for my kiddos.

SUPPLIES:
I downloaded, printed, and cut out the pattern pieces for the Reversible Bucket Hat Pattern by Sweet Red Poppy.

For the first hat, I used two Spider-Man fabrics. I liked using fabrics that are similar in color because when you topstitch the lines on the brim, it'll be great it the thread coordinates well with both fabrics.

I cut out the brim, middle, and top of the hat in the Spider-Man fabrics.

After I cut out all the necessary pieces in the Spider-Man fabric, I cut out the interfacing pieces. I used lite interfacing. As you can see, I was watching the Reversible Bucket Hat Video while creating the hat. 

When you iron the interfacing onto the brim pieces, make sure you're ironing with the bumpy/shiny side down!

I stitched the sides together. 

I pressed the seams open with my mini iron. I went ahead did the same for the middle pieces.

I placed the two Brim pieces together with right sides together, and sewed around the outside edge.

Then I flipped the pieces with right sides out, and stitched all around the brim. This was my favorite part, but my lines aren't that great.

I pinned the middle piece to the top for each of the fabrics. 

 and sewed them together.

Next, I pinned and sewed on the brim to one of the top and middle pieces.

Then I pinned and sewed on the other middle and top piece to the brim leaving about 2 inches unsewn.

Finally, I turned the hat right side out and topstitched the 2 inch hole closed. Then the hat was all done!

My son tried on his new hat, and he loved it. So then I made a couple hats for my daughter.

    1. Thanks!! Your 11 year old might want one. My daughter turns 11 in August, and she wanted a hat after seeing her brother's Spider-Man hat. I made the Wonder Woman and LOL Girls/Cats hats for her.

  5. Love the pattern and the fabrics you used--I need to make a couple of these while having my chemo treatments. My friend did make me a Spiderman surgical cap that I wear out at times. Thanks, T'onna!

    1. The pattern was really easy to follow, especially since there's also a video tutorial. I just followed the video (I'm a visual learner). You can use all kinds of fun fabrics for these hats! I plan to make a few more for my kids, and I think my husband wants one. He used to wear bucket hats when he was a teen, and I had a couple as well. But yeah, you should definitely give this pattern/tutorial a try and make some fabulous and fun bucket hats. I hope you get well soon.

  7. Your bucket hats are fab! My kids would all have loved a superhero themed hat when they were small (probably still like one now to be honest!) I like the way they can fold up so small for traveling.
