#how I transformed my old tulle garment into a bucket hat.🙃
Hello fellows, this is my first attempt at trying out a diy with a dress I've had for so long. But I figured out how much my wardrobe needs a bucket hat since bucket hats are now a major trend and can equip us with that vibrant look. I've heard so much about #needleworkmonday and have yearned for an opportunity to be part of it. I'm a newbie, and may not present everything I know the way I should but I hope someone gets something.
As the title implies, this is a bucket cap project. As my first attempt, I made use of an old navy green tulle fabric that was gifted to me by my sister some five years ago.However, I mistakenly burnt a part of it while I ironed it, since then, I had it buried in my wardrobe until I felt a need to craft a hat.
It took me six long hours to work on this cute bucket hat which I intend to rock over different outfits and for a long time. This is because, I often place so much value on skilled hardwork😉.
For this project, I used:
- A navy-green tulle fabric
- Two shades of threads (Green
and brown
3.Interfacing
Growing up as a teenager, I had a disciplinarian for a mom.She was doing her apprenticeship with a fashion shop that afforded her the opportunity to try out new patterns with papers. She wanted to do a lot but didn't get the chance. She'd tell me that it was better I prided myself in what I personally owned than what is borrowed. She taught me to work for what I must have. I chose to make this project personally instead of buying one because I know if she were here, shed encourage me to. While I worked on this, I felt a sense of fulfilment welling up inside of me. "I'm improving* I thought to myself. Having to do what I love-creativity means so much to me.
These are the patterns I cut for my beautiful bucket hat:
The common bucket hat is divided into 3 parts- the crown
The crow of a hat is it's upper covering. Having taken the head circumference measurement, divide by 4, the crown should and will fit perfectly.
the head or bodice
To get the measurement for the bodice, wrap your taperule around the head circumference and divide by 2. For instance, if head circumference is 23, divide 23 by 2=11.5 and add a sewing allowance of half an inch.
The brim
For the brim measurement, the simplest way to get measurement is to apply the splash an spread method this way, you wouldn't miss an inch.
These parts stitched together form a hat. It's very easy. Hope this is hopeful. Thank you
