Vi ricordate del Summer Gift Party? Lo swap party più cool del reame organizzato dalle creativissime Antonella di Blog a Cavolo e Lisa di Piccolecose Handmade per festeggiare il primo giorno d’estate! Per la scorsa edizione avevamo realizzato una telo da picnic con le angurie, mentre questa volta ci siamo cimentate in un progetto di cucito un po’ più complesso e come sempre vorremmo condividerlo con voi: proviamo a realizzare insieme un cappello estivo? E’ comodo e leggero, da tenere sempre in borsa quando il sole si fa troppo forte o il vento troppo insistente 🙂 Noi abbiamo utilizzato il nostro tessuto in popeline di cotone “Forest Llamas” nella versione blu, è perfetto per questo progetto!

HOW TO MAKE THE SUMMER HAT
CUT OUT THE PATTERN PIECES FROM FABRIC AND ATTACH THE INTERFACING
Fold the fabric in half, right sides together and begin to cut out the various parts of the hat, following the instructions on the pattern. Cut out the brim pattern piece from the interfacing.
Make sure you have the following pieces:
- central band: 1 piece of fabric + 1 of lining
- brim: 1 piece of fabric + 1 of lining + 1 of interfacing
- top: 1 piece of fabric + 1 of lining
Overlap the piece of interfacing on the back of brim fabric piece, and fuse it to the fabric. That piece will be part of the lining (1).
SEW THE BRIM
Match the back edges (shorter ones) of the brim pieces and secure them with pins, right sides together. Sew them with a seam allowance of 1.5 cm (2). This will be the seam allowance for all other pieces. Press the seam open and repeat the same operation with the lining. Then sew the brim to the lining, right sides together, along the outer border (the one that will not be sewn to the hat band). Turn the fabric upside down and iron on.
STITCH THE BRIM
CREATE THE LINING
Repeat the steps for the making of the central band: match the back edges of the lining right sides together, sew them and press the seam open. Attach the top lining piece to the central band lining, as you did previously for the outer fabric (photo 5). With the wrong side up, fold a 12mm edge along the bottom edge of the band and iron it (6).
ATTACH THE LINING
Match the upper round sides, wrong sides together, and pin the edges around the seam (7). Sew the seam allowances of the upper parts together in the round, by machine or by hand, making an external seam on the margins a few millimeters from the one that joins the top part to the central band (8). In this way the lining and fabric will be well joined. Cut the exceeding fabric, leaving a few millimeters (9), then turn the lining over the fabric. Sew the folded edge of the lining around the inside edge of the hat by hand, with an hidden stitch. Turn the fabric upside down.
