If you haven't heard of Oliver and S before, you really are in for a treat. They design the most beautiful children's clothing patterns- just the way children's clothing should be! However, despite my praise, this is the first of their patterns that I have actually made; a reversible bucket hat for the little one/s in your life! I've made mine from two contrasting fabrics; an old pair of Will's trousers for the main fabric (with permission, of course) and a beautiful faded floral fabric from my ever-loved, Leons, to line. The fabrics match beautifully and the hat is equally lovely on both sides. Being a floral at heart, it's the inside that I enjoy most, but the neutral, more substantial outer fabric is incredibly practical. This project is fairly quick (it took me a couple of sewing chunks and then some lazy evenings to complete) and is a great use of those little bits of fabric that you've been saving for just-the-right time. The pattern can be downloaded for free and printed at home in four different sizes; extra small, small, medium and large. I still have some trousers left and a number of small heads to cover! I'll definitely be using this pattern again... |
Not only is the pattern free to download, but it also comes with beautifully clear, illustrated instructions. What are you waiting for?!
