I found a pattern on Pinterest for making kids' Bucket Hats. Since I have fond memories of my 1960 child and school-mates wearing this funky and floppy-styled headgear, I thought it would be something my teenaged grandchildren would like. Pretty much a bad call...The 16-year-old wore his a bit, but the older kids just kind of
rolled their eyes at me...
This past summer, I offered to make them for my niece, Tiffany's Cousin Camp that she holds every summer.
She designed a logo and we picked out some fun fabrics. I made them reversible.
The littler kids may or may not have rolled
their eyes, but since I was not there to see it, I considered the hats a great success!
That's the trouble with making something for somebody else. They say "Thank You", but you do not know if they then just put it in the closet or a drawer. And, if you make something they ask for, what you make may not be what they envisioned....
Sew Accordingly.....
These are so cute! My kids still wear them 😉
