I made these hats last summer and never shared them because I was waiting for the pillowcase book to come out. Then I kinda forgot and remembered just today. My pattern is in this book.
I was sorta disappointed that I didn’t get to use flowery prints for the book, so I made these for myself. The original one that I made a looong time ago, was torn apart to assist me with pattern making.
The green hat is made from vintage barkcloth (I think) and the inside is a solid khaki. The blue & green print is an old pillowcase and it has a green and white stripe print on the inside. Both are reversible.
I love these hats. I wear them all the time and they have been through a lot too. They get thrown in the back of the car, get things piled on them in the closet and still have managed to hold their shape pretty well. I have not washed them yet, so hopefully they keep sorta clean for a while.

Those hats are cute! I love both fabrics you used too. I need to see if I can get my hands on the book.

Great gardening hats! I’ve been searching for something like these ones for my own gardening pursuits. Are you selling any on Etsy?

These look great. I have been seeing references to this pillowcase book everywhere in blogland. I’ll have to check it out, as the Spring sun has finally declared itself here in Western Massachusetts.
