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

Yes for sure! Can't wait to make more. Thanks again :)

Thank you so much for watching Adelheid! Tori

Well done Kathy and thank you for your lovely comment!! Tori

Wow Libby!!! That is fantastic! I would say you are ready to start a hat business!!! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Tori

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

I love comments like your's Lorna!! So glad everything worked out! The next one will be even better!! Tori

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

Will do Dee!! Thanks for the suggestion, Tori

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

@@madcaphats OK, now I understand the why. Thanks so much for the fast and informative reply!!

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.

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

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

This hat or this one ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oa91o8Zzms2pYqc.html ... the big brim beach hat ... will have the largest brim. I am just working on a pattern for a third which has an added edge piece like the sunblocker only a larger brim. Stay tuned and thanks for joining in the hat fun!! Cheers, Tori

@@madcaphats Thank you Tori! I will! 😁

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.

This style has a panel, rounded top and the big brim sun hat has a slightly larger brim and a more squarish top. Hope that helps! Tori

@@madcaphats It does, thank you!

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.

Thank you!!!

Yes, definitely. About 1/2 a yard will do it and a yard of the fusible medium weight interfacing. Keep us posted!! Thanks for watching! Tori

@@leibiutrera6635 ¡Hola Leibi, el patrón gratuito está aquí y usa el traductor de Google para convertir el pdf como documento en español! ¡¡Gracias por ver!! Toros cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1714/8197/files/Free_pattern_-_Reversible_wide_brim_sun_hat.pdf?v=1681432603

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!

Grace there are links to a free pattern and one that is a nominal fee in the video description which is just under the video. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching! 🙂 Tori

here is the link for the free version if that is easier! cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1714/8197/files/Free_pattern_-_Reversible_wide_brim_sun_hat.pdf?v=1681432603

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

@@madcaphats Thanks Tori you're always there to help I appreciate it so much.

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

The shaded outline will give you a larger seam allowance. If you sew with a 3/8 inch or 1 cm seam allowance, cut to the black lines.

Thank you I didn’t read enough was just coming back to delete my message haha thanks

Hi Judy ... no you don't need an industrial machine. What you need however is skill with the machine that you have. This should not be your first sewing project. It would be an intermediate level. Cheers, Tori

@@madcaphats Thank you for the quick reply. I have two industrials and 4 domestics, was just trying to decide which one to use :)

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.

Hi Jan ... you can find the link for the free download and the paid full sewing pattern in four sizes here on our website. Thanks for watching! Tori madcaphats.com/pages/the-reversible-wide-brim-sun-hat-bucket-hat

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 ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc6ba9Srm9bSlaM.html

I meant to add that the Summer Bucket Hat has elastic in the lining so they way I do that hat might help you here with this one!

Second one will be easier! Customers often ask me how long it takes to make a hat and I will say it took me years and years to get to this stage where you were interested in buying one! I love your self analysis. That is the key to success!! Thanks so much for this comment and good luck with number two!! Tori
