We are in lockdown in South Africa, and I didn't have a chance to run out and get materials before all shops closed so I'm SO excited that I can do this with old towels to pass the time! Thank you for the video, can't wait to try this out :)

I viewed SEVERAL DIY bucket hats and yours is by far THE EASIEST to follow! I felt like I needed a sewing degree to follow what everyone else was doing! THANK YOU - my daughter is going to love this! I'm making her a 2-sided one (I know, ambitious, but I think I can do it based on your pattern!

NOW I CAN FINALLY MAKE A FLUFFY HELLO KITTY BUCKET HAT HAHHAHAHA

[Karolina-hfuf]

Oh my goodness thank you so much!! Guys this is absolutely worth it! FYI, I didn't have a sewing machine and made it ALL by hand. It took a while, quite a while, actually 😆, but it's absolutely doable. Just be sure to print the patterns properly, otherwise it will mess up the whole process.
As a really pale skin holder, such a thing is a must-have! Together with my linen shirt and pants and some shades, I am completely equipped for a hot summer😎😎😎

[hannah-lebq]

This was my first sewing project after many years of other types of art. After following your instructions, this hat is totally adorable! Thank you for the tutorial and free pattern!

Hi, this is really cool and I'm keen to have a go myself! Just for future reference, I would recommend using a fabric which has a more obvious good and bad side when filming videos as it's hard to tell with this one x
