Let's Make The AMAZING Bucket Hat With A FREE PATTERN! So Many Sizes and Styles!

[@debra5104]

Perfect! Made some for family and friends, now I’ll take after one of the comments and donate to the children’s hospital. Thank you!

[@knitsalot]

I made this hat shortly after this video release 2 years ago & used my local NFL team fabric, as well as quilt cotton for the grandkids. Ended up making 6 hats total! Love your video Jess, & I would say to anyone reading my comment now-I just was able to download the pattern again FOR FREE! If you don want info to come to your email from Mood fabrics-unscribe from them-duh. And for the rude comments about talking so much-how entitled are you? She is explaining her thought process, as makers do. If you dont like it, dont watch!

[@bettyjacobsen9465]

I make bucket hats and donate them to the Children's Cancer Hospital. To speed up cutting, I made cardboard templates of the pattern pieces and trace them onto SF10; do a rough cut around the pieces; fuse the interfacing to the fabric and then cut out along the lines. This lets you maximize your interfacing by drawing your shapes close together and makes it easy to fussy cut your fabric because you can see the design through the interfacing when you place it.

[@nancy9478]

I love this, cutting interfacing to match the pattern piece is such a pain.

[@InsideKarensHead]

I use the plastic 'cutting' boards I get at the Dollar Tree to cut out my pattern pieces. Then the plastic lasts longer. ;) I use a marking pen to trace around the pieces and then cut the pieces out. I have the gold document envelopes that hold these plastic pattern pieces with a picture of the item the pattern makes on the outside of the envelope.

[@idamartinez1599]

I would love to do this😊

[@szzukowski]

What is SF10?

[@amechealle5918]

I used to use the rigid cardboard for my pattern/templates but after a while the cardboard gets a bit frazzled at the edges. I decided to try clear sheets (the kind that are used for the covers of business reports or spiral bound instructions). You can get these sheets at paper supply stores or office stores, I get the thickest ones, there are usually 3 different thicknesses. $tree also has thick plastic cutting sheets in their kitchen area. I also print the pattern on sticker paper and adhere the paper to the plastic. With bigger pieces like this pattern I connect the pattern pieces with clear packing tape. I’ve been doing this for 8 years and my pattern pieces still have their shape.

[@debbiemcewan5998]

Thanks for the pattern. Definitely will make that for my grandkids and family

[@susanv5684]

I like the pace of your videos. You get in all the important details without dragging. I enjoy your personality. I think you’re genuine and generous to share your knowledge. I’m an intermediate level bag maker and I think your videos will help me grow my expertise.

[@nowthenad3286]

You look amazing in that fireworks hat.

[@rachaelb9164]

I wear bucket hats when I’m hiking or gardening or anything outside to protect my face and ears. I never thought of them being in or out of style… just practical.

[@traceytowner176]

Down the rabbit hole again! I have my purse, I have my purse pal….and now I HAVE to make a hat to match…….Thanks so much Jess ….this is really cool. You look adorable in your hat.

[@OklaRoots]

YES! Tracey, we're going to have a hat to match every bag. It's too much!

[@mikegriffith8730]

You are a lovely lady on your worst day but with that first hat pulled down over your eyes...oh my. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@debbiewhite3270]

I want to make these & embroider them for my granddaughters. They will love it. TY once again for a wonderful tutorial.

[@kristinaaids2269]

Love this but I have to say bucket hats were around in 1900 and made fashionable in my day 1960s!! ❤ great channel and I love watching and learning. 😊

[@charlotteclaypoole3922]

leaving on inside crown helped me. I have made lot of them and Liked it. Love the way you explain everything all the way.

[@sandradawson5189]

Thank you for this video. I have just made my first hat and I love it.

[@irenegarcia6703]

Thanks for the tips for sewing around the curves. The focus on two inches at a time makes for a successful sewing outcome.

[@desertflowerz1435]

I just made one following your video for my niece's birthday. Thank you!

[@MrsBrit1]

My first thought when you put it on was BLOSSOM! The size is totally Blossom-esque! I'm glad you also said it! So cute!!

[@OklaRoots]

Right?! I love it!

[@joancook8454]

Thank you so much for the free pattern. I haven't sewn in many years and now have a granddaughter to sew for , this hat will be my first project for her. Thank you again and I'm happy to have found your channel. :)

[@atelierangela3556]

Joan Cook 💝✂️ I discovered a way to sew faster and easier even as a beginner, I talk more about it in my channel, I hope it helps those who need it.

[@l.a.w.79]

I’d made a couple of bucket hats before and they looked homemade. Following you made my work look soooo much better. You’re a great teacher. 🥳🤗

[@v.marieadams8379]

You have to press. It’s all about skills.

[@sandrabarrow6685]

I just made one for my granddaughter this afternoon and she loves it! Thanks for the three options you showed in the video. I left the opening in the band then ladder stitched it to close. I'll certainly be making more of these!

[@4luv2camp]

When you leave the opening in the upper part of the hat piece(riser), instead of sewing or pressing the seam open, I would put the seam allowances to the one side. Then pull the hat through the opening and you can machine stitch that hole closed by "stitching in the ditch" on those two seams and that would close the hole and stitch the upper parts of the hat together to hold them together.

[@ketiaperkinsformallydavis6337]

I used this pattern and lined the top and sides with satin and it's very comfortable.

[@OklaRoots]

Oooo that sounds fancy!

[@nancy9478]

Great idea for curly hair!

[@sewingroom8625]

thank u sew much for making a Hat demo, I love making hats, floppy and bucket hats, and now I understand about what interfacing to use, thank u sew much.

[@OklaRoots]

I love that we can really play with material and interfacing, you know? And it really all works out pretty well.

[@punkinhead099]

Need a ponytail hack! Cute!

[@sandrahedges8843]

Love this little hat. Made 2 for my grands. Thank you for the pattern.

[@kelleymckell]

Yay yay yay! This is the perfect summer sewing project - fun, practical and easy to sew. Cannot wait to get started on a few of these. My soon-to-be 2 year old grandson needs one (or several) for sure. Thank you Jess for your awesome tutorial and enthusiasm!! I always enjoy your content.

[@OklaRoots]

Awwwwww if you make one for that little babe I'm going to need a picture. These bucket hats are going to be SO CUTE on him!

[@creolekitten]

Another excellent video!!! Of all the bucket hat patterns I’ve done over the years, the Mood bucket hat pattern has the best proportions. I LOVE how you’ve played with different materials!!! You help give all of us that boost of confidence we need to try new things. My brain is “brimming” with ideas. 🤪 And might I add: you have outstanding stiletto skills!!! IF we ever get back in the costume shop, I want my interns to watch your videos because watching you sew makes for a great education. Plus you are just so darned ADORABLE!!! Thank you for all you do and for being you!!! 🥰

[@OklaRoots]

Awwww thank you so much! I agree, the overall design of this hat is just spot on. Really lovely.

[@amandam7299]

Love this! I always love the bag tutorials, but throwing in a little something different is so fun. And I love that this one has a bigger sun hat style vibe. Awesome video.

[@OklaRoots]

Awww thanks Amanda! I love bags too, but this was too fun to pass up.

[@marygrace7538]

This is a great project for summer fun. My friend had asked me several weeks ago if I could make her a sun hat for gardening so this is perfect. I have some fun yellow and red ladybug fabric that will be awesome. Think I will add the tie in the back for a nice fit. Thanks to Mood Sewciety for this free pattern and thank you Jess for the wonderful tutorial.

[@t.davila2997]

Looks like fun to make. Glad you said to make snippets along the “wall” of the hat so the fabric lays flatter. Fabulous video thanks for sharing.

[@cheryl7784]

This is the perfect bucket hat! ~ I love the fact that the brim is slightly wider than usual. Thanks for this tutorial and for the FREE PATTERN as well… 🥰 Much appreciated!

[@anne-mariezube1589]

I'm home recovering from surgery and watched your video and whipped up a hat for a 2 yr old little girl (18 in. circumference). It turned out better than I expected and I'm sure that I'll crank out a few more in the coming weeks.

[@robertarouse5018]

Lovin this. Now I know what to make for all my ladies. Thanks for the inspiration, and the different ideas. My favorite is the one with all the extra stitching on the brim.

[@annehenriksen5828]

I have now made a hat from old jeans with a lining from a linen-cotton blend. I think it turned out great. I only used a wowen interfacing on the jeansfabric. I made a turning hole in the lining in one of the sideseams. It workshop great, and was easy to turn. I handstichted it close afterwards. Thank you for a great tutorial. Happy sewing, Anne ☀️

[@scoobyproof]

This is awesome. I wear hats all the time. The combination of prints is fun!

[@sherryfaires7931]

This was a great video! I haven’t made a bucket hat in quite a few years, but now I am in the mood again! Your music made . me feel like I could dance, (oops, I meant sew) all night! Thanks a lot!

[@amcomeau]

I just make a bucket hat with another tutorial. This tutorial is the one I will be using next! I love how your instructions are precise and how you sew the pieces. Putting fusible interfacing just in the brim is a great idea!

[@BaileyJadeMakes]

I just watched this video, and I immediately went to my sewing room to make one! I am using a twill with a camouflage print, and an African waxed cotton that has an eyeball print on it. It looks so cool! Thank you for this tutorial.

[@siren9965]

This was an awesome tutorial!!! I may try it with a towel fabric! Thanks so much.

[@Kitty-fox1001]

I love c3po peeping out of the brim Jess !😂 thank you for this

[@esperansaloughran693]

An adorable hat! Thankyou so much for the pattern!

[@fussyrenovator7551]

That looks great on you. I have a pretty big head and the fact you commented that was so helpful. I need to start making for my family. We are in Winter here but I’m going to save this video. ❤️

[@Julie-626]

Yay! I’m so happy that you did this video. I love your tutorials. You rock!

[@donnabryson7145]

Thank you for sharing. Love learning from you. 😊

[@lisahurst8565]

Perfect timing for all the summer activities! I already have a few different ideas to try.

[@OklaRoots]

Yay! I think this will be a well loved summer hat

[@carolynangelin8075]

I love this pattern. Thank you for the tutorial. Such good clear instructions.

[@kirstenduesenberg1525]

Awesome! Thanks! I'm going to make this for sure! So cute!

[@OklaRoots]

Yay! Have fun!

[@MoMaryR]

Your hat looks great and leaving the opening in the side band is such a good idea. TFS

[@nancyorourke8044]

Oh no! Now I have to add another new project to my must make list. Your hats turned out awesome. I especially like the blue and white bucket hat.

[@OklaRoots]

Haha the list is never ending Nancy!

I love the large brim! Thanks for the video

[@lauraleecreations3217]

💗💗💗🧵🧵🧵🧵I love bucket hats and sewing!

[@sheilacraft5027]

When sewing curves, I find it's helpful to mark the sewing line before I begin so that I don't screw it up during the sewing phase.

[@gquilter36]

Love the video and showing us variations was great. Thank you so much Jess.

[@kerryford1831]

Great video! And THANK YOU for the special on the Kam Snap Press! I’ve been debating whether to buy a Kam Press for a long time, and your special bundle Is exactly what I needed. I had to go through chem for the last few months so this is my gift to myself for survival. I made the order and it was at my door in 2 days!! I’ve also been planning to make a sunhat so you always hit the mark.

[@jessicablevins185]

Thank you for your videos. I learn so much from you. And the music is always good.

[@mike5chico]

I just made this pattern a couple of weekends ago! Love this!!! I didn't interface mine for a more floppy look. I used all a cotton woven on one side and a medium weight twill on one side. Thanks for making this tutorial.

[@OklaRoots]

That's awesome!!

[@nancejack56]

I’m having trouble printing out the pattern! 😞any suggestions?

[@joannesenechal9082]

Once again thank you for this tutorial its so much fun. ANd yes ears would be really cute to add on this hat.

[@jeankuxmann6135]

Love your channel ❤️You are an awesome teacher 😀 I’m making this hat and love it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🥰☀️

[@Roxydiane81]

Thanks for the tutorial and the pattern reference. I made an adorable hat today for my youngest granddaughter. She got to help design and sew it and it’s adorable! Wish I could share a picture!

[@bethmorris1607]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Great hints and easy to follow. Thank you so much. It was fun listening to you share.

[@mrgarner4796]

Great hat! I especially like the wide brim as I cook in the sun. I can't wait to make my own. The pattern is very good.

[@sallyannball3553]

LOVE this so much! Toddler grandkids were here over July 4th and both were wearing bucket hats. A new accessory I can make to go with their dresses! Thanks for the detail and excellent sewing visuals

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

I love this pattern. I made one today and I’m cutting out more for gifts on a weekend at the Cape with my buddies. Thank you for sharing. I needed to take a bag-making break and this is the perfect project.

[@PinkyJapan]

I made my first bucket hat along with this video and loved it so much that I immediately made a second one. These are too much fun. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial!!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Thank you!! On my 3rd one and we are loving these for the summer !

[@shellydicey9454]

Adorable hats!!! I have made a couple of bucket hats recently. One with the shorter brim and one more like a sun hat. Easy to sew and so darn cute!! Thank you for all of your tips and tricks.

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

So stinking adorable! I can’t wait to make a few of these for the beach!

Omg girl you make anything look good! Love it! Great job.

[@julssantiago2893]

Hello from Florida, so first thank you for the tutorial. I have made reversable hats for my hubby were big huge Disney fans, so he constantly has me making him his own bucket hats it's so cute seeing him shop on Etsy for material...LOL..anyhoo, I came across your video and I fell in love with the wide brim so I downloaded the pattern and made size D but as I was strolling at Disney it was kind of windy, and it was flying off so I am going to remake it and try size C which is funny I have a small head of a child in the pattern...LOL... too funny but oh well...and I am going to add the grommets to this one because I found out it also gets hot...LOL...so thank you so much for the tutorial

[@annierego5795]

Made the hat and absolutely loved it. Here’s what I did and it didn’t come out to bad even though I considered it taking the lazy way out. I decided to make the turn around slit on the band like you suggested but I forgot to leave the opening so after I topstitched the 1/2 inch seam allowances down, I just took my seam ripper and took out the stitches that way. After it was all turned out, I just stitched over the previous topstitching and poof, it worked. No hand sewing and no bulge. Hope that makes sense. Going to make a bunch more for the my grand kiddos when we go to Disneyland

[@heatherhoyt847]

Love all the options you're giving! Thank you! Also, would love to see one where you attach ears!!

[@zeejones4152]

Thank you these are great. I'll definitely be making some.

[@billieclark1661]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I have been wanting to make a bucket hat for a long time. I love that you made it reversible. I don't like seeing all the seams on the inside. I made one tonight using your tips, thank you!!. I like the turning/closing on the side panel. I did use the ladder stitch. I used mostly quilt cotton, except the top exterior. I had a cute rayon blend with a US flag and hibiscus flowers that I couldn't pass up. It turned out so cute.

[@cythcy]

I just found you. I like your style of teaching.

[@knitsalot]

Thank you for doing this video, with your tips for sewing curves & circles! Thanks to you, my first hat is almost finished & I have planned 3 more to make for the family! Very accurate pattern, too!

[@kathysop6439]

Love your videos, you are a great teacher. Please make a version of the bucket hat with a drawstring to tighten it when needed.

[@cajordan52]

Love the hats and the pattern is great for sizing. I think now we can make matching bags and hats!!!!

[@mouseboots46]

I would love to wear hats, but I always look like somebody stepped on my head. The only hat that look good was the Jackie Kenedy style X pillbox hat. They sit more centered over the crown of the head rather than square on top.

[@cajordan52]

@@mouseboots46 hats can be fun and definitely if you know your style.

[@lindahorton9488]

I’ve been looking at several videos for these hats. I’ve been sewing and quilting for a long time. Your video and demo of constructing these hats are the best and easiest to follow plus the size chart is extremely helpful. Most of the others didn’t have size choices. Thanks much 👏👍🤗

[@evahudson6128]

Thank you for this free pattern,I've been wanting to make a bucket hat for ages but like you thought it would be complicated. Looking forward to this being the first thing I make when we get moved into our new house. Well done. x

Hi. I would love to try this. Where do I find this pattern?

[@rebekahkui]

I have not thought of making one but im loving what you made and I love the floppy and structured hat 😍. Im gonna make one 👍🏻. Thanks for all the examples! 😊

[@maryequilter31]

Absolutely fantastic!! I have a large head and cannot find sun hats to fit me properly!! Now I can make my own !! Also agree and like the sewn grommet idea. I'm on the ocean in RI and salt water is a beast on anything metal. Unless there are rust resistant grommets. Thanks again

[@OklaRoots]

Me too Mary! It's hard having a big head when you love hats!

[@AnitaSouthall]

Wish I could post my avatar, no hats allow for my huge hair bun underneath a crown of a hat.
