Easy to follow pattern. Make lots of different sizes. Made using traditional oil cloth but use fleece for the inside ear flaps.
This was a quick and easy sew. The instructions are really easy to follow and the sizing is just right. I really enjoyed making my Sou’Wester Hat
The project went together easily and directions were very clear. Measurements were acurate with the pattern. I enjoyed the make. I used waxed cotton, so it is a little stiff.
This has been a great pattern. I made one for the whole family since it has been raining non stop.
I really loved this pattern! Instructions were detailed and there were video for every step. 👌 I made hat for one year old but my 5 year old firstborn wants own hat too, because little brother's hat is so cool. ❤️
I'm happy with how my first one turned out. The instructions are clear, and they steered me toward a good level of precision.
The layered A0 file went through my projector well. Sometimes I have to edit A0 PDF files to add a blank buffer zone around the edge, so that I can scroll the pattern to where I want it on the cutting table. For the rain hat pattern, I didn't need to do that, because the pieces were already well in from the edges.
The chin strap is tighter than I'd like. I'll probably wear it with the hook-and-loop only overlapping by 2-3cm, not the full 5cm. Another time I'll start with the elastic extra long, and delay attaching the loop piece and trimming the elastic until after a fitting.
I'm not sure I understood exactly where to put the last piece of seam sealing tape, but taping is only an optional extra, and the last piece seems less important than the earlier 5 pieces.
This is a super cute hat! Fun and easy to make. Great pattern!
I made this hat as part of a costume. I really like the shape. It has a really good fit. Instructions and tutorials were very clear and helpful.
Love this hat! Easy to follow tutorial with great instructional videos. My little man loves wearing it all the time!
The gorgeous Sou'wester rain hat goes perfectly with Pixie Coats made from waterproof fabric. The pattern is another lovely release from Twig and Tale. As with all their patterns, it includes videos and handy links to help you through any tricky spots. The hat is a quick and extremely useful sew!
