DIY: Customising Bucket Hats With Cricut

 

So you may have seen my bucket hat creations before but this time I wanted to play around with some custom tweaks to truly personalise it for a gift!
With the Cricut Maker3 I was able to create some floral iron on prints then I experimented with something new for me… And that was utilising the rotary blade for cutting fabric on the Cricut machine. It was so exciting being able to upload my bucket hat sewing pattern, select the fabric option and then just sit back knowing it was all going to be cut out perfectly - unlike my attempts when cutting curves with scissors.
Then it was just a matter of ironing on the print to the select pieces and assembling the hat on my sewing machine.

I loved getting creative and experimenting with this adorable floral overload of a double sided bucket hat which I cannot wait to gift!

Don’t forget that sewing is meant to be fun. Enjoy the creative process and don’t put so much pressure on yourself that it becomes unenjoyable.

It’s one of those things that the more you do it, the more you’ll improve over time!
