This pattern was quick and easy. The instructions and photos are so well done. I love my hat

Fun to sew. Fits all. The regular brim is the most used by the whole family. The widest brim really is a head turner. WOW 🤩

Love this pattern, easy to follow instructions and easy to customize the head size and brim

Absolutely addicted to this pattern. It’s a lovely project with instructions that are perfect for me to follow. Made me wish I had more than one head so I could ware all my creations at once!😂💕 Thank you SHH.xXx

Great instructions. Looking forward to making this.

Great pattern.

Perfect pattern for a summer hat!

Easy to follow and makes a lovely hat no matter which one you make.

This was the first pattern I’ve ever followed start to finish by myself. I did have a lot of help from a very fancy borrowed sewing machine.

I did a couple mockups with scraps to test the size and decided to put some Pellon 809 decor bond interfacing in addition to what was recommended in the pattern because I wanted to be sure the hat wouldn’t hang down over my eyes (on the largest brim size). This of course made sewing the interfacing into the seams really thick but the machine i was on mercifully makes auto adjustments for thickness and tension so that wasn’t a problem. It sure did make turning it inside out a trick though, even with a 4 inch opening.

As a beginner, I found easing the curves to be really tricky. I pulled up a few YouTube videos and decided to hand tack the easing rather than pin it and it worked quite well. I used a different color thread and picked out the hand stitches after the machine stitch.

I have curly hair so I lined the head portion in satin and the brim in the exterior fabric. I’m glad I didn’t attempt to use satin under the brim because it came out super wrinkly even interfaced (I’m assuming that was a beginner issue).

Overall it worked and it’s cute but I can see why people use those petal type shapes to put together a sun hat because you don’t have to futz with easing the curves. It took me an embarrassingly long time. Probably 8+ hours AFTER the mockups. (Again, your experience may vary)

I have made two of these hats so far and I love this pattern so much! I've mostly only sewn bags before so this was a little bit of a challenge for me, but the instructions are so clear and easy, any wonkiness is totally from me. And there was a lot of wonkiness in the first hat, but the second hat had minimal wonkiness. So I am making all the hats!

I love it! Still deciding on my fabric, but down here in FL it’s going to be great year round!

I like the versatility of this pattern

I totally love the Bardot Bucket hat. I have made numerous ones for gifts. Many of my gifts went to friends and family. Each individual hat was chosen for that person as I had many scraps and fabrics to use with this pattern. This did not take long and that was what was so nice. Fast and sweet and someone has a wonderful gift from me. Everyone loved their personal bucket hat and I see them wearing them all the time. This was a wonderful pattern along with the video in which turned out to be very user friendly and beginners should not shy away from a gift that would have cost around $50 to $100 dollars if purchased in a store. Thank you for the PDF Pattern. It is a joy to make and I continue to make more for the male family and friends.

With this hot weather. This easy to follow hat pattern hits the spot.

This bucket hat pattern is fun. I made one that my granddaughter confiscated, made a large size for hubby but he’s more medium so my son got the large. Made myself another one yesterday. They are so fun I’m planning my next one.

I adore this pattern!! I especially love all the sizes included and with different brim size options as well! Easy pattern to follow, I didn’t get the video option, just the pdf. Thank you Natalie for such a fun fun project!

This is such a cute hat and fun to sew. Definitely will be making more!!

This is such a great pattern! Just 3 pieces and easy to put together. I've made 3 so far with different size brims, and I'll be making more!

I think this is what has been missing from my life. Haven’t made it yet but the pattern looks so fun!

This is just perfect! A variety of sizes for the body of the hat so it’ll fit the whole family! On top of that mix and match brim sizes to make them just the way the wearer likes!

The pattern was so easy & quick to use & the hat turned out adorable.

Great pattern with excellent instruction.
