I loved the fabrics in my Bordertown B’s quilt so much I decided to make a bucket hat with them.
I’ve wanted a bucket hat for a while too.
I came across a pattern and tutorial HERE
Thought I would need the large size so it was traced out.
Collect all the bindings
Lay them out ready to choose
Start sewing onto interfacing
Pieces cut to the pattern
Stitched in to the hat
But oh no. It is too big. I added some elastic to see if that helped. Oh no! It made it worse and looked hilarious on.
So I will spend another day breaking it down and trimming some here and there. Then hopefully I can get it fitting better.
I do love the overall look of the colours though.
I did use all the bindings too.

The colours do look good so hope you can remake to fit.
How disappointing with the fit. I’m sure you will be able to tweak it. On the plus side, the colours and overall effect looks terrific. Definitely worth making fit properly.
A great way to use up a bunch of left over bits and pieces. Shame it was too big. Proves that you're not big headed though. LOL I wish you luck next time.
We need pictures of you wearing this….
