Uv hat Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

This is a sewing pattern and tutorial for a wide-brim hat that is also great for UV protection .

Apply a slightly firm fusible interfacing to the brim to help keep its shape.

Because firm interfacing is difficult to cut on the fold, actual-size interfacing pattern pieces are included instead, resulting in a few extra pages.

After printing, align and paste the pages along the joining lines, then cut along the outlines. Seam allowances are already included , so you can start sewing right away.

* Use a stiff fusible interfacing (heavy weight).

* Since stiff interfacing is difficult to cut on the fold, actual-size interfacing patterns are included instead.

* The interfacing is drafted about 12 mm smaller than the brim to make it easier to turn inside out. When attaching it to the brim, leave a 12 mm gap from the edge instead of 10 mm.

(1) Serge or overlock the side edges, sew them together into a loop, press the seam open with an iron, and topstitch.

(2) Apply the stiff fusible interfacing to one of the brim pieces.

(3) Sew the brim pieces together into a loop, press the seam open, and topstitch.

* Before attaching, fold the seam allowance of the outer brim edge (the side joining area) by 1 cm with an iron.

(4) Sew the two brim pieces together, trim the seam allowance leaving about 2 mm , turn right side out, and topstitch along the edge.

(5) Sew the top and side pieces together, then serge or overlock the seam allowance.

(6) Sew the side and brim together.

* First, sew the brim piece with the interfacing to the side. Then, fold the outer brim’s seam allowance (folded 1 cm earlier) to the inside and topstitch it for a neat finish .
