You have the most relaxing voice and teaching manner. I’ve been mostly quilting but this encourages me to get out of that comfort zone and try something new and different.

[@NotchesSewing]

Wow, thank you! You can do it! Just follow step by step. You already know how to cut accurately so it should be no problem. You can even adjust your settings to watch at a slower speed. - Just turn down the volume!😄. Please check out some of my other videos for easy projects. Thanks for watching.

This is the best bucket hat tutorial Ive seen. It explains everything so well and thoroughly. Its impossible to make a mistake and her voice is so calm and soothing ✔️✔️✔️

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks so much Delia😊

[@marleneturcotte6936]

Purchased this pattern yesterday, made the hat today, best bucket hat fit ever!!! The pattern pcs are properly sized so that it is not a battle to fit the sides to the top nor the brim to the sides. The sides are deep enough for the hat to come slightly over the top of the ears, the brim has a very nice width without being too wide or too narrow. I'm pretty certain I'll be able to wear this hat without having to hold it onto my head when the breezes blow! Absolutely Perfect!!

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks so much Marlene! Glad you like it😊

[@theDaye]

Great, straightforward video. Kudos for having GREAT audio. It's surprising to me how many presenters have terrible audio quality.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks Mark! I think you are the first person to comment on my audio quality😊. I appreciate that as I probably spend more time on the voice over than anything else. I’m no “techie” but I try …… Cheers!

What a fantastic tutorial. Straight to the point, very well presented step by step process and a beautiful speaking voice.

[@nancyok]

Wow wow wow thank you for this!! I've been making bucket hats to hand out for free at a festival I have coming up soon and while they've been getting better the more I make there were several things that could have been better and this tutorial gives me a way to improve on practically everything! Thank you!!

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bethperrine6431]

I love the way that you topstitched the brim - brilliant!

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad you like it! I’m not a fan of seeing backtacking each row or having to hide threads if you don’t. This just saves a lot of time if you are producing them. Thanks for watching.😊

[@sbaumgartner9848]

This is the 2nd video of yours I've watched. As I said before you do an excellent job of explaining what to do. In addition, I appreciate your saying interfacing was needed (to give the hat some shape). Other videos haven't done this. I also like the parallel rows of stitching around the brim; they are not only decorative but I think they also add to the sturdiness and shape of the brim.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks again!😊

[@dyeitb1ack]

I love your videos and just saw this after I’d already made 3 of these hats! I decided that making two hats and stitching them together at the brim and turning through a gap in the lining side seam to be the easiest and neatest method for me 😊

[@NotchesSewing]

This method is just as easy as you can skip a few of the steps I've shown. You can sandwich the brim between the two and stitch in one go. I still prefer knowing all layers are held together at this seam. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. You can sew with bigger or smaller seam allowance but you will need to adjust top of hat to fit.

@@NotchesSewing Do I add seam allowance to the outside of each piece? (all sides)

[@NotchesSewing]

If you just need about ½” bigger in total, sew with ¼” seam allowance instead of ⅜” as I show in video. If you need bigger than that, then you will need to add to the sides of each piece.

Love this vid you make it easy. How can i make the hat a bit smaller as I have a smaller head than the size in the pattern? 53cm. Thank you for a great tutorial 💖🦋🌻

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you. You will need to adjust the pattern by reducing the sides to fit your head and then reducing the top oval to fit into sides. Take the same amount off the brim seams as you do the sides. I will have a new video out soon with slightly different style that you can adjust the size a bit with ties. Cheers

[@aussiesunset]

@@NotchesSewing Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a go as I have had to try make my own due to shop bought ones always too big. Thank you I'll watch that new video too as it sounds great. 🌻🦋🧚‍♀️🙏

[@NotchesSewing]

cut the 2 sides and top out of scrap fabric.(just 3 pieces for fitting sample ) pin sides to your head so it’s comfy. Measure what needs to be shaved of each piece keeping ⅜” seams. You will need to shave off very little from the top piece to fit. Once the sample fits, then that’s your new pattern

[@NotchesSewing]

Up until last year, I only ever used industrial machines. The default on this Brother machine is left when machine is turned on. You can sew with you needle in any position to get right seam allowance. Just move over to get the correct distance if you are using the side of foot as the guide. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@crzee151]

@@NotchesSewing aha, thank you for the reason. I made one like you did, but wasn't thrilled with look on the outside. Could have been the fabric's pattern, or I'm my own worst critic, but I am working on two right now and thought I might close the opening on the inside with fabric glue.

Hi Angela, thank you for a clear concise video. I’m relatively new to sewing and have the same machine as you, when you sew the 3/8 th seam allowance, should the presser foot edge run along the fabric edge as a guide? Many thanks.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks for watching! The right edge of foot is actually ½”. There is a faint line on the right side of foot and that is ⅜”. If you want to use the edge of the foot as your guide, you can also move your needle position. Check page 29 of your instruction book for other measurements and needle positions.😊
