DIY Sun Hat | How to make a Sun Hat EASY | Sun hat for women | Beginners project 

BREAK THROUGH and yes Sybil is right!!! (read through the comments, and you know). I have been successful at sewing the crown of this hat, that's the part that sits a top of my head, I tried it on and thus far it's good, the problem I ran into, was once I completed the crown of the hat, I had to actually turn the crown of the hat inside out before starting the brim of the hat, YES you have to turn the crown of the hat inside out, so when you attach the tighter woven placemat material to create the brim, you are on the correct side of your last sewing position, and now you can actually continue sewing the brim, as shown in this video, and yes it seems tiny gathers, are required for at least 3 inches out from the crown or more in efforts to keep the brim flat. I'm guessing that how much gathering required will depend on the size brim your are trying to achieve if using 3 or 4 placemats otherwise you'll get this puckering brim section.

Walmart's gonna have a strange run on placemats this summer. 😂

Me: suspicious of this working Me after watching: I feel empowered to make summer hats

So THAT'S how Carmen Sandiego makes her hats

Oh my God I can’t believe I am a year late, but anyway thank you so much for sharing this. It looooks so simple to make and how you’ve explained everything, I’m like wow wow. Thanks Sis, I truly appreciate you all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 🌺🌺🌺

This is amazing, of course you know I'm the 4 mats girl with all the extraness lol, but it looks great and so beautiful on you. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea this is really so easy...summer, here I come.

Before you started sewing the brim, you turned the crown of the hat inside out. I think you should have stated and shown that. I am a senior citizen, we made these hats in high school so I understand what you did but someone not familiar who is making this hat for the first time could be confused. When filming a tutorial you should show and explain everything you do. every point is important to a beginner.

This is just brilliant. Brava from those of us with large heads who love to garden!

Wow all the looks are fab! I like the 4 mats. However, you have the prefect face for any of styles. Great job!

I've been longing for Aunt Fran's sun hat from the movie "Practical Magic" but just refuse to part with $950. But this is perfection! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

So very clever girlfriend! That huge hat would be $400 in a high end department store, at least. Greetings from St Thomas, hope you are well and safe.

Such a creative idea. Who woulda thought to turn placemats into a hat like that. Love how your brain works.! Beautifully done. 👒

This is amazing. I dont know how many times I passed up a material like this. Something else to hoard!

Wonderful, just what I need! I am very pale and prone to skin cancer. It is hard to find fashionable hats with broad enough brims. Thank you!

Gorgeous and creative! At 2 mats I thought, please don't add anymore. Then when you did 4, I fell even more in love with that style. Please keep sharing your creativity. Thank you!

wow! I don't even sew but it showed up on my feed. Finished watching this and...I have not been more impressed by a DIY video than this! Placemats! Who would have thought??

WoW ‼️. Such a beautiful, ultra feminine and stylish hat. And so easy to realize at a very low cost. ☺️

I’m making a cosplay and this is perfect! Thank you!! Going to do the 3 mats, I couldn’t find a hat that was right but yours is prefect!!

Thank You. I'll be making this ASAP.

I love the floppiness of the 4 mat look. Thank you for filming the process.

Вы волшебница!!

I love her voice! So calming and instructive. It sounds Jamaican adjacent.

I literally just paid 68$ for a hat just like this from free people..

The 4 mat hat looks wonderful on you! I would probably just do 2 at my age but I would have rocked the 4 mat hat back when I was younger

that is such a smart idea to use the table mats! absolutely genius, I'll definitely try that out!

Absolutely amazing how you created this!! I love the 4 mat look!!

Two mats would be perfect for a gardening hat!

Thank you!! I have a big head and I like to wear braids in the summer so I can never find a beach hate to fit me. I’ll be trying this out really soon ❤️

So kind. And I love your accent your voice is very soothing and you’re so knowledgeable you come up with the cutest crafts

Thank you so much for this!!! I just spent hours looking at expensive machinery and materials to make a sun hat for my Elephant head, lol. And this is going to save me so much time and money!!!

I knew there was a way to make these out of hats but i couldn’t figure out. Omg! Black Woman Magic

OMG OMG OMG! 😍This is like extra fabulous💞 .... I am sooooo making this Thanks Luann

You did a really good job! I have a huge head compared to to the Japanese as I live in Japan and I have never found a hat that fits!! Must give it a try, Thanks for the great video!!!

Lu-Ann, you make all those hats look good ....

I can't figure out how this works if you're using a standard presser foot. Seems like the line of stitching would fall just between the lines, unless you are overlapping the two pieces? Jeez how is that?

"You can stop at 3 mats... but i will continue sewing" YES!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! i sure will try this one, even when each mat where I live is R$10/each i can afford it better than paying R$200 for a gorgeous hat like that.

Gave me “Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego” vibes.😊

Who knew it could be so easy? Thank you for showing us! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That was so fashionista of you! How gorgeous! I’m definitely going to try this. Hopefully I can find the mats.

I love the 4 mat look. It looks high end and luxurious. I can see myself wearing it at a resort sipping on a fruity drink and looking chic.

this is so incredibly innovative!! how long did this take approximately? and how stiff/floppy is the brim? im thinking of incorperating some wire for a 4+ mat hat for added drama :)

This is brilliant! I never would have of a hat from looking at a placemat.

Wow! You have solved my problem of how to have an accurately crowned/brimmed Edwardian hat. Thank you so much! 2 1/2 mats for Edwardian and 3 mats for my personal pleasure.

Omg! I remember separating out slender straws and braiding hats with my grandma, but this is so quick and such a beautiful hat! Thank you! Can't wait to share this with my daughter.

FOUR MATS FOR ME!!! I LOVE THE STATEMENT THAT IT MAKES! LARGE AND IN CHARGE!!! NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! I HAVE TO TAKE A SEWING CLASS!!! TFS!!!

Brilliant! I have a hard time finding hats that fit my big head, and this has given me all sorts of ideas! Thank you for sharing!

I love these hats. I have a red one I paid WWWAAAAAYYYYY too much for. I wish I saw this video years ago. I am hooked. thank you so so much.

It's so pretty! I would have never looked at a place mat snd thought of making a hat out of it. It's brilliant! I'm more of a 4 mats girl myself. I think you are too. I think it looks the best on you. You're very pretty. I have a question. Did you do that on a regular sewing machine? I dont think my sewing machine can do what you just did with that mat. I'm glad you shared it. That was very interesting to watch.

Hi ! Thanks for your diy but I couldn't do the brim right😳 it was like a buckethat 😂 so I cut the other mat for the brims and that's how I managed 😂

Lu-ann! This is truly a Diva's Hat! I Love it! Peace and Blessings to You Beautiful Lady!

Thank you for sharing this! I have an unusually big head so sun hats always run snug on me. I can’t wait to try and make my own!

I love them all. However two mats seems the most functional.

I like the two mats for myself but I know others who would prefer the larger hats. Very creative and very beautiful.

Hi Lu-Ann, I've tried several times to do the brim but it just wont go flat. Do you turn the head piece inside out before starting the brim? I love the hat especially the 3 mat version

See there's a problem you're a hat person and they all look gorgeous on you. But those of us with a beach ball on our shoulders look like our hats are trying to jump off our heads.

This is genius! This would never have occurred to me! Bravo!

I will never make one, but i appreciate your tutorial. I am so impressed with how you transformed cheap mats into a large luxurious hat. Great work!

This is creative brilliance. Who would have thought of making a "beau chapeau de plage" out of a placemat. You're gorgeous btw, and, can get away with wearing any one of these. I think that I would go with #1. I used to wear gorgeous hats when I was in my twenties in the big city. Country girl now. lol

I have tried doing this and cannot get the brim. Just wants to continue going straight down no matter what I do. I am an experienced sewer of over 40 years and am baffled. What is the trick to get the brim going cause nothing I do works. I have a small head and as such store bought one size fits all does not fit me. Figured this would be perfect to make it to fit my head so I made the base and the head portion smaller but the brim will not go flat for me. How many of you have actually made this and how many tries?

Am I the only one who only saw the thumbnail and thought that we could fold the summer hat. 😓

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm making one with three mats and one with four! I am always looking for big summer hats and I refuse to pay top dollar for a hat made of paper. I have no problem, however with making one myself. Thanks again.

You are a genius. I had no idea I could make such an amazing hat from a placemat. Thank you for sharing this

OMG! What!? 😲 That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! I'd never be able to actually do it, but it looks fantastic! I love the 4 mat look!

That's gorgeous! Did you use a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch?

Wonderful! Thank you so much for this. I once saw Open was on the hands on a woman with a head of kinky hair like mine and I wanted it so much for some protection in my garden. But, the few I found were staggering expensive. I can absolutely make this on my machine. You’re brilliant. You’ve blessed me and I know exactly what I’m making my garden buddy for Christmas.

Brilluant! I'm gonna make the 4 mats one!

I love it !!! I'm stuck between two mats and the 4 mats. They are gorgeous !!!!

I love what you do ?? 1, 2,3, or 4. The style 👌

This is genius! The 4 mat one looks boss! Gonna try this!

Brilliant! I’m a four mats girl!!! I’m adding to my Walmart list to get tomorrow!

I love your videos so much. Your voice is so lovely amd it is ASMR. Your voice is so relaxing and makes me feel so peaceful and happy. And you are so gorgeous. I am not gay but i am so im love with you, i am binge watching your videos. Your accemt is so lovely, plus you are so creative amd talented. I bet your house is so pretty. :)

Are you from the Caribbean? You sound like a 🇹🇹

A beautiful hat on a beautiful woman great job

So beautiful! I’m a 4 mat girl. Love all that drama! Stunning. ❤️

How long did it take you to do 4 maths ?

This is the first time I've seen you and this is ingenious!

Brilliant. Summer here I come

أحببت بجد ماصنعته 👏👏 هذا ماكنت أبحث عنه سيدتي مشكورة جدا على عملك 🎩🎩🎩 أرجو منك سيدتي أن تقولي لي فقط ما أسم الخيط المستعملة في صناعة هذه القبعة الصيفية ❤️ 🥰🇩🇿

I like the four mats. Just curious is it easy to add a wire to to Edge so I can also shape it differently?

There was a RU-vid DIY video that showed using placemats like that to make a purse out of them. You can have a matching purse to go with your hat. 👒👛👜

How cool is that? 😎 Expect “Even Greater Things,” in 2021! Shalom! #IAdornedYu ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸

Did you use a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch? I love this idea!

Beautiful 😍 very easy!

This is AMAZING! And it was even cute without the brim 💅🏽

I am soooo excited about this. Heading to Walmart now, I need a hat for the weekend☺️ thanks

I don't wear sun hats at all but I had to watch this video 😂..... This was amazing!!

Thank you for this idea...I definitely want to give it a try

Great Video! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll be sure to link your channel when I recreate it!!!! Lovely 🕊🕊🕊

This is so clever, I have a small head and have a hard time finding hats that fit and until recently didn’t know how easy it was to crochet them, but I never thought I could sew one like this. Thank you, thank you. I even have a juki sewing machine

just ordered a sewing machine, and I'm very excited to try this. Definitely feeling the 4 mats look!

Thank you, my "Doctor" don't want me in the sun because of some of the meds I'm taking, then I have to take vitamin D3, and he wants me to were hats when I'm outside working that covers me, not baseball "caps" "put" I could never find hats that big, so now I see how I could make it my self, so thank you very much✌🏼❤🙏.

شكراً لكي كثيراً لقد احببتها ، انا ممتنة لكي على الترجمة الى اللغة العربية 🙏🏼🌻

This is so amazing, I have huge hair and most hats don’t sit nicely on my head. Thank you for this hack! Love it!

This is insanely awesome!! Thank you! Beautiful hat!

Love the video!!!! Always can recognize a fellow🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮!!!!

It's a gorgeous hat shape. Looks so beautiful and special . The video is detail and clear.video edit is funny Really like the tutorial and thanks for sharing

This is so clever.

Ohhhhhh! This is incredible. $8 and it looks like a $300 hat.

I tried this and could not for the life of me get the brim right. I don’t know how you pulled this off even after multiple viewings, but your work is lovely.
