Summer bucket hat

Today I made a summer hat.

I have had this fabric in my stash for a while, hoping to find the perfect project for it. It didn't take me long to come across this free Oliver+S bucket hat Pattern and I knew this fabric would be perfect.

Super easy to follow instructions and a few little diagrams to look at. I had to do a fair amount of easing which isn't my favourite thing but all good practise. Loved sewing all the lines of stitches on the brim, totally makes it look more professional. And I was amazed at my neatness! 

Unfortunately I managed to make the hat a little small for Amelie I'm not even sure how?! So I will be giving this one away to a little lady with a smaller head! Tomorrow I'm actually going to measure Amelie's head and make it all over again... I don't mind, this make is fun and I'm excited for summer!

Oh and did I mention its reversible! Bonus!
