I’ve always wanted an old school hat similar to the ones that HeartE and Meta have put out. However, they are quite rare on the secondhand market, and I prefer to DIY things when I can. It’s just a matter of finding the right kind of hat and lace…

A few months into my search for a suitable hat, my friend ended up finding this little bucket hat for me in a closing sale for a vintage clothing rental. After flipping up the brim, it was perfect! I found some super cute lace at a fabric store, and the off white color complements the hat wonderfully.
I created a ruffle by gathering a straight stitch, then pinned two rows to the hat. After sewing two accent bows to the sides and ribbons to make a chin tie, it was complete!
However, I totally ended up sewing my finger in the process (which never happens!). I guess that’s my sign to be more alert when I’m sewing…
Minus the small injury, this is a super easy DIY project, and I hope you give it a try.
Until next time~
Valentine
