Awe J. Thank you so much for the super thanks and the comment 💖💖💖 So sorry for your loss. Being lost in hat making and crafts is usually a solo past time but I am so glad and grateful the internet allows us to feel like we are doing this together. Please email me if you have any questions or want to share ideas and technique.... madcaphats@gmail.com xo Tori
Just made your "Reversible Wide Brim Hat" and it is perfect in every way. Fits adult woman perfectly. Your instructions make it easier to assembly than most bucket hat patterns. Couldn't be happier....another one on the cutting table. Thank you so very much for the excellent video and downloadable pattern.
i made this hat, using lightweight broderie anglaise. light weight to fold into my backpack on a walking holiday. i am very pleased with the results..and all the compliments i received on it.! cord as a chin strap ..absolutely necessary when out walking the fells where the wind is always blowing!
Thank you Jean for this feedback!! So glad you have a hat that brings you compliments and is fully functional ... always the goal of my patterns!!! Tori
Welcome to Hat School!!! So glad you are here, and I am working on the next batch of videos so your timing is perfect!! Thanks for joining, cheers, Tori
It was going great, and then the outside top was a little short. I took your advice and bought the magnet guide, but it didn't come until this afternoon. I never get my seams straight, so now maybe I can. And I measured my head, so I made the medium, but I think I could've used the small. It was a learning process and it's a great pattern with a great teacher.
Well!! This one is a bit of a journey. The top with it's six seams is not always completely co-operative! If you find the hat a bit big on the medium size, you could adjust the seams on the brim to make the brim a bit smaller thus fitting the top that is smaller. It is a bit of a hassle but let's say that I have done that lots in my career when one piece turns out mismatched to the other but a slight adjustment on one will help. Bit of a pain with the seam ripper. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope the magnet helps you like it helps me!! Thanks for your kind words but you are putting in the effort to deserve all the credit for what I hope ends up to be your new favorite hat!! Tori xo
Thank you Kiki! You will be able to use the brim from this hat tutorial in the next bucket hat tutorial as well which has a different top and side band. Many of my pattern pieces are interchangeable! Tori
Thank you so much for your patterns and instructions - they are so clear and easy to follow- so far I’ve made the cloche, the toque with neck scarf and the winter pillbox and they are all fabulous!
Your hats are beautiful, please, tell me, how long a cord do you start with, and thank you. I was confused about that. I see you use 3/8 inch seams. Your video is very clear, and I am in awe.
Hi Carolyn ... my cord length is bit longer than needed but once I finish the hat I trim to what I feel is the right length for either under the chin or tightening at the back. Better to be safe than sorry. There are shoes laces you can use as well, so look for length around 1 metre. If you are cutting cord, I cut a long piece about a meter as well and then cut in half once I add the toggle. Hope that helps. And thanks for the lovely comment! Cheers, Tori
Hello, I just purchased this pattern as well as the Sunblocker pattern. I am wondering if in future, you could actually show how you use your Serger to finish off the raw edges? I am new to "serging" and having some challenges getting things to line up properly. Since you are such a great demonstrator.... it might be nice. Thanks for all the helpful videos. Madcapper Lady.
Thanks so much for the video and pattern!! Trying this one out now. Question on sewing the Brim- Why do you not close the center back seam BEFORE sewing the pieces together? (min 4:28). I want to top stitch the seam allowances down as you do with most all of your seams and think it would be easier to do before sewing the brim edge TIA
Barb, I just try to keep the two pieces about the same size when i close them up. Doing it the way I do means one side of the brim has not stretched a bit while sewing and they will match up perfectly, the same diameter. If one is out of wack a bit, you can adjust with that back seam on that out of wack side so the seam that is your brim edge is perfect, all the way around! Do it the best way for you however, make your own path! Tori
I just use the average size needle, the one that the shop I buy from hands me whenever I get a chance to go and shop in person. I will look more closely at the package and update this comment for you soon. Cheers and thanks for watching, Tori
Very nice, I making a bucket hat out of 100% cotton fabric, for the first time, what interfacing is good and do I interfaced all the pieces?? Thank you
Thank you for this excellent tutorial and pattern. I did notice that you don't backstitch at the beg and end of the seam. Is there a technical reason? tyvm
I prefer to over sew the starting point when I get back to there which to me seems to remove the tension on a single start or end point but doubling the load for about 2 cm or about an inch. You can do backstitch if you prefer that method.
Hi, I just found your channel and love your hat tutorial. Is the seam allowance 3/8 also for the crown pieces? I may give this one a try for sure, as I always need a sun hat here in Florida, lol. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and tips.
Yes, I use 3/8" unless it is an edge stitch which will be smaller, about 1/4 of an inch for an edge stitch. Good luck and if you have anymore questions please ask!! Here to help you succeed!! Tori
This is the best pattern I've found so far! All the other "free" ones do not match up to this ease and quality. Very detailed instructions on the video. I'll be purchasing a pattern for another style so I have written instructions! Thank you!! Do you have a sun hat pattern with ponytail hole?
Thanks for making my day!!! I have the pop top that is open at the top for ponytails ... like a full brim visor. I will try to get a different one on the channel soon, I have three videos and patterns I am working on now, one for kids, two are ladies's sun hats with a one piece band and a slightly shaped top.
Hi, I'm new. I opted for the free pattern. I wasn't sure about the weight of the stabilizer and got a 2 sided fusible piece of pellon 72F. I'm thinking its too thick to use 3 layers of interfacing so I'm experimenting with just using the fusible thick piece. My plan is to trim the interfacing before bonding so the seam allowance is just the fabric. What do you think? Also, did you notch the outer edge seam of the brim before you serged it? Thanks for your help, your instructions are clear, but I'm always experimenting!!!
Hi Patty ... did you finish a hat? I use medium weight one side fusible and I use the two sided when I do a hat like the sunblocker where I would add a trim to the edge. Hope your's worked out! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats I have made 3 hats. The free pattern is big on me. I chose a decor type fabric for both sides and found it very difficult to “ease” the top pieces without a lot of ripping & cursing. The 2nd hat I didn’t use the additional stiffener and it was fine with the decor fabric. The shape of the top was what I would call “puffy”. Perhaps because it was too big. I’m not complaining, just reporting. I like your construction and will sample more hats.

Your tutorials are great! They move right along, but directions are very clear. I’ve done the fashion fleece cap. This sun hat will be my next to make. Thank you!
Tori what type of fabric are you using in this video? I read in the instructions you used cotton twill and denim. What do you recommend for all around. I've been using cotton canvas and it wrinkles to much. I finely got the pattern down but material I chose isn't friendly. Thankyou for all your help..
Hi Cynthia ... you want to wash your cotton canvas first and maybe more than once if it wrinkles easy. The tighter the weave the less problem I have with wrinkling ... you can even use twill on the reverse side which looks very much like canvas. Try to stay in the 8 oz range for one side and if you using quilting weight for the other, the brim piece will need some extra stabilization like an iron med weight fuse non woven. That is a big brim so it needs the extra weight for support so it will turn up and stay in shape after washing. Def. wash your fabric first so you are not disappointed with distortion from shrinkage. Cheers, Tori
Hi Mary ... I use an industrial machine ... perhaps you can share your brand of machine and someone who sees your comment can reply. I use just the middle of the road needle for a juki. Cheers, Tori
What are the differences between this reversible wide brim hat and your big, beautiful beach sun hat, aside from this one being reversible. They look quite similar, but I know there are differences, and perhaps some that are too subtle for me to discern with my limited experience. I'm trying to decide which hats to make next! 🙂

Hi DeAnna! If you use a larger seam width than I do in the video, which is 3/8" or 1 cm, cut to the outside edge of the shadow. The black line has my seam width built in.
Is there a way to add an elastic sweat band to the inside of the cap at the brim seam? Would you make a fabric /elastic/fabric sandwich and sew it into the seam or just attach the elastic (the plush kind, not waistband elastic) when you topstitch the seam closed?
Hi Vicki ... watch our new video about the Summer Bucket Hat ... if you make one side from lighter fabric, run a narrow piece of elastic across about 10 inches of the back of the hat. I would use a piece of 1/8" wide or 3mm wide and 7 " or 18 cm stretch across ... make a mark on the wrong side for start and finish, sew the elastic on the wrong side, and then do the closing like the video for this hat. The Summer Bucket Hat is here ... th-cam.com/video/Whk8qz6pneo/w-d-xo.html
