Toddler’s Sunhat – It’s Not too Late!

A while back, I mentioned that I was going to make a sunhat for R.  Thanks to Grosgrain’s free pattern month, I had a great tutorial by Prudent Baby I was able to use!

We have been using it a ton at the beach, which has been great!

R likes it to because it is light and has a fun pattern!

I did make a few adjustments to their pattern:

1) as you can see above, I just used my serger to serge the top of the hat and the brim together, instead of pinning the inside of the brim in.

2) Then I turned it right side out and top stitched another seam along that one to keep the inside seam allowance in place.

3) Lastly, I felt like the pattern resulted in a hat that was bumpy and stick out at the corner seams, so I sewed an extra seam on the inside to bring it in a little bit.

I probably could have done more, and will next time!

But all in all, I’m happy with the result!
