A Bucket Hat for Isabelle

I finished Isabelle’s bucket hat last night. Yay!! And I didn’t need to buy any fabric for it, everything is from my stash. Double YAY!

Did you know this pattern is for a reversible bucket hat? REVERSIBLE!!

I wasn’t sure about this contrasting thread when I sewed the first line but I figured if I hated it, Isabelle didn’t need to wear it with this side out. But I think it looks great.
It is a big hit. BIG.

With Nathan that is. I took this last night on my cell phone to send to Alan. As soon as I was done sewing it, he put it on, and wore it for a good long time.
In fact, this afternoon, as I was trying to take pictures of it, Nathan tried to grab it.

Yoink!
And how does Isabelle like it?

Miss Posey Pose a Lot likes it ok.

She went all crazy with the posing with it.

This one is my favorite.

Where she’s posing like an Asian. Bwa ha ha! I asked her where she learned that from because Alan and I DEFINITELY do not do this. She said she learned it from a book.
Isabelle likes it but isn’t ecstatic about it. She said, “thanks for making me a hat mama!” then tossed it aside. Nathan definitely had it on longer than she did. Guess I should make my little guy one too.
Project Notes
Pattern: Oliver + S Little Things to Sew
If you decide to make this, go check out Jessica’s directions on how to make these without handsewing. It is awesome. That’s the way I made it.
The only other change I made from the pattern is, I opted to use cotton flannel instead of interfacing. I was worried it wouldn’t be stiff enough but it came out nice.
























How cute! There is no way I could sew that straight. I mean that smoothly curved.
The hat turned out so adorable!
The hat looks great. I can’t wait to make one. I have the book now. I am confused about how to cut the tutu!
I love it, your topstitching looks awesome! Glad you found my instructions helpful
I absolutely love your fabric choices, I would wear that.
Hey darling, I love your blog, I was wondering if you could follow mine? It’s called the final sacrifice, I update it daily. It’s at http://www.elishayates.com I am already following you and would mean soooo so so so much if you could follow me back.
Kind regards, a fan, a friend, Elisha Yates.
It’s a darling hat…bonus points for using fabric from your stash!
I love, love, love your hat! And I think the contrasting topstitching is perfect for this pattern.
