Learn to sew a classic reversible fabric bucket hat that can be used all year round to keep the sunshine or rain at bay. This is a fun way to use really wow fabrics for two different looks (or a more neutral outer with a zingy lining. There are a choice of two brim styles (narrow and wide) and three (adult) sizes of hat.

You are provided with the multi-size pattern, so you can sew further hats for all the family. (Do tag us in photos after the class with your hats on location)! This will give you a good introduction to using pattern pieces and constructing a three-dimensional item.

Suitable for students who are competent at using a sewing machine with a straight stitch and even tension. Machine sewn.

Materials and equipment required:

• Sewing Machine. A basic sewing machine is fine. Don’t forget the 1/4-in or standard straight sewing foot pedal, spare bobbins, lead and instruction booklet. Alternatively you can hire a machine subject to availability (just add to your basket with your workshop booking)
