Bucket hat

[wayne r]

After Biggta's post on his Asat bucket hat I had to have a go so I set too, making a pattern and cutting out some new material I got and got to work tonight I finished, had a couple of errors on the top part but rectified that and well chuffed, I have loads of new material for projects now Betsy is running smooth. firstly a bino harness and then a bow hunting smock,really liking this sewing lark,regards wayne

Nice....addicting isn't it? What is the middle layer that you used?

That’s Awesome!!!! How’s the fit? Did you put a sweat band in it?

The inner layer in the head part is clothing lining a light brown, the brim was double layer camo canvas the fit is great and the sweatband is the last thing to go on, i left just enough room for the band so it will be snug and not blow off. yes it is very addictive, putting the rings of stitching round the brim was great I really got to get to grips with the machine and I now have full control without wandering, in the beginning i did run off. I will start a bino harness with the same material and line with felt, pictures to follow lol

cooking on gas now, the start of my binocular harness is now in progress, looking good so far, for the corners I have some nice thin leather that I will stitch into triangles for the finishing touches and the bino pouch will be out of the same material as the hat and felt lined.
