Uv hat Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Free sewing pattern and step-by-step tutorial for making a wide-brim UV protection hat, perfect for summer wear, outdoor activities, and gardening.

The PDF pattern includes seam allowance (S/A), so you can cut the fabric directly without adding margins, making it beginner-friendly and ready to use after printing.

For best results, apply a slightly stiff fusible interfacing to the brim. This helps the hat maintain its shape, improves sun protection, and ensures a neat, professional finish.

Since stiff interfacing is difficult to cut on the fold, this pattern includes a full-size brim interfacing template, resulting in a few extra pattern pieces for accuracy and ease of assembly.

Optional design touches include adding an eyelet for ventilation or decorative stitching for a personalized look, making your hat unique.

This versatile sun hat works well for everyday wear, beach trips, hiking, or as part of a stylish summer outfit. Its easy-to-follow instructions make it an excellent project for beginner sewists and experienced makers alike.

Whether you are searching for a free wide-brim hat pattern, a UV protection hat sewing tutorial, or an easy summer hat project, this guide will help you create a functional and fashionable accessory.

* Use stiff fusible interfacing (heavy weight).

* The heavy interfacing is drafted smaller (about 12 mm) to make it easier to turn inside out. When applying to the brim, leave 12 mm instead of 10 mm from the edge.

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

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

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

* Before attaching, fold the seam allowance of the outer brim (where it joins the side) by 1 cm with an iron.

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

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

(6) Sew the side and brim together.

* First, sew the brim piece with interfacing to the side. After that, fold the seam allowance of the outer brim (1 cm fold pressed earlier) to the inside and secure it with topstitching for a neat finish.
