I was looking for a bucket hat for the summer with a pony tail opening and found this extra cute pattern on etsy. Needless to say I bought the pattern and I'm making my first hat this weekend. I have some of that cute "fruit ladies on the beach" fabric that I'm using for my first hat. Here's the link so you can see it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1040424..._home_active_1

Very cute hat and I think your material choice sounds like "ses" much fun. If I had hair I would make one.

Supposed to say "sew" much fun--darn my fingers

Here are pictures of my very first bucket hat. It took me about 4 hours to make it from cutting to last stitch. I had a couple of problems and the back opening didn't turn out as neat as it should have, but I love my new bucket hat and I know I will get lots of use from this hat this summer. I have enough magnetic snaps and interfacing to make two more. It fits' really well and the pony tail opening is perfect. Wish I could have gotten a picture of me wearing it, but I'm terrible at taking selfies.
