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.
i love these! i need some new hats for this summer – but my gigantor head is a problem to fit!
Those hats are cute! I love both fabrics you used too. I need to see if I can get my hands on the book.
I love those hats!
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.
