I’ve been having fun sewing reversible bucket hats. Each starts with the selection of two complementary or contrasting fabrics. This can be a most time-consuming step as my hat aficionado friend discovered on our fabric shopping expedition. We both liked the natural slubs of woven linen and geometrical Japanese patterns of “Sevenberry” cotton.
A reversible hat is versatile, two hats in one! Another thing of interest is that the underside of the brim shows off the second fabric which frames the face. Reversible buckets with chin straps and UPF sun protection are commonly worn by kids at the beach. For all, they are a casual and playful fashion accessory.
