You can argue with a simple yet true statement that
our life is mostly confined in four walls. Our home, office, or gym - the
indoor environment is everywhere. But when we are out in nature and fill our
lungs with fresh oxygen, the surroundings and natural air invigorate us
instantly. In this regard, an outdoor activity like fishing is a great
experience.
Fishing opens the door to go outside of the four walls and spend a few hours or
even a day close to a water body. Besides enjoying the beauty of nature, the
feeling of catching a fish is exhilarating.
While fishing is a great outdoor activity you need to
gather a few important fishing accessories before going on a fishing trip. One
such fishing accessory is a fishing hat. wearing a quality fishing hat protects
your face and eyes from direct sunlight exposure. It can also protect your neck
as well from the sunburn.
A fishing hat is not an expensive item. Depending on models, you can purchase
one spending approximately $20 or less. However, if you love DIY projects, making
one fishing hat is not a challenging task. You may even enjoy the project.
In this diy project, we will make a fishing bucket hat. A bucket hat is a
trendy accessory. It matches with any outfit. It will protect your hair when
you are out in the sun. The hat is easy and fast to make Let us make the hat.
Choose a fabric
This hat will be sewn from two different fabrics. These two fabrics are denim
or canvas and cotton. You will also need to use two different colors as well
for the hat. One-color for the inside of the hat. And, the other color for the
outside of it.
Cut the fabric for the upper portion of the hat
Cut two pieces of circular fabric from each of the fabric. These two pieces of
fabrics will be used in the upper part of the hat. If you have a small head,
cutting two smaller pieces will be enough. However, if your head is large, you
must increase the fabric size.
Cut the fabric for the body part of the hat
For the body part of the hat, you will also need to cut two pieces of fabric.
Now, you may ask what will be the shape of the fabric? Remember, for the upper
portion, it was circular fabric. But for the body portion, the shape of the
fabric needs to be rectangular. Cut 4 pieces of rectangular fabric measuring 12
inches by 3 inches each.
Cut fabric for the projecting part of the hat
Cut 4 pieces of identical fabric for the bill part of the hat. Each piece
should be 30.48 centimeters long and 45.72-centimeter outer curve.
Sew the hat
First, attach the two outer rectangular fabric by pinning it together and then
sew it up. Repeat the same process for the other two innermost fabrics.
Sew the fabric for the bill part of the hat
For this part too, pin the two pieces of fabric first before sewing them up.
Repeat the same thing for the other two pieces of fabric.
Sew the body part
For the body part repeat the same procedure that you apply for the brim part of
the hat.
Sew the body part to the bill part
Pin these two separate parts first and then sew them up
Bring together different parts of the hat
This is the final step. In this step, you need to sew different parts of the
hat together to make a complete hat.
What features you need to include in your fishing hat
Your fishing hat must have a few features. Let us discuss these features.
Hat size
It is a simple fact that every human being’s head is different in terms of size
and shape, so if you make your own fishing hat, the process will allow you to
make the hat according to the correct size of your head.
Waterproof
This is another important feature of a fishing hat. While rain is
unpredictable, if there is rain a fishing hat will protect you from a sudden downpour.
But, the hat you are wearing must be water.
