Craft for Making Wide-Brim Bucket Hat

1. Sewing the structural pieces with more layers

During the process, sewn different structural parts according to different materials. In general, the general fabrics need to add 0.5 to 0.7 cm fabrics on the basic structural pieces. As for thick or shedding fabrics, we need to add more fabrics to be sewn.

2. The craft for sewing

Before starting sewing, we need to prepare some must-have supplementary materials, including lining, spun lining, sweatbands (sweatbands, sweat pockets), etc. If you don’t hang the lining, you still need to prepare the overlocking twill strips.

3. The crown part

The below picture is about how to sew the crown part, and the next is how to sew the top part and the crown part together. The sewing of the hat wall and top of the hat consists of sewing the surface and the lining. Since the circumference of the top of the cap is 0.5 cm greater than that of the cap wall, attention is paid here to the amount of placing on the top of the cap. The seams do not need to be split but can be reversed to the outside.

4. The hat crown and brim sewn

The surface of the hat wall and the hat lining are sewn together with the brim. Since the circumference of the cap wall is 0.5cm larger than the circumference of the inner opening of the brim, attention is paid here to the amount of eating at the top of the cap wall.

5. The sweatband

The sweatband of the wide-brim bucket hat is generally the net size of the head circumference, to be smaller than the cap circumference of 0.5 ~ 0.7cm, sewing sweat strip should be pulled tightly, and finally sealing the whole ironing.
