Barbie says it's summertime and every girl needs a few hats to help protect her delicate skin from the harmful rays of the sun. But more importantly (in Barbie's world) she says hats can be super cute too:@) Use any cotton fabric, in any design or color, maybe make a few to match different outfits. Now, life is funny folks, and things don't always turn out to match our vision... I started with a great bucket hat pattern for humans from Hello Sewing, and thanks to my marginal sewing skills it turned into a beach hat for a Barbie doll. ~But~ in the end, I did end up with a hat, and I do like the look of it. I'm also pleased with myself that I didn't give up on the project and actually completed this itty-bitty hat!
While I'll share the actual pattern I used for this hat,
what I really suggest is that you stop by Hello Sewing,
Very helpful indeed!
And if you're feeling extra creative...
Maybe make matching hats for your girl and her doll,
you'll be a rock star๐
✂The pattern:
I signed up for the free download pattern,
and reduced it to 28%.
What I did differently:
My hat is not reversible,
and I chose to cut the outer brim with pinking shears so it didn't need a hem.
I did use a sewing machine,
hand stitching is certainly an option for this small hat.
Make something just for fun -if you're up to the challenge๐
And have a happy day!
