Kim here. And I’m excited to tell you about a new collaborative effort among some of my favorite people/designers in the industry…Sewn Hats! This collection of hat patterns and instructions is simply amazing. From young to old — boys, men, girls, and women — there is probably a hat (HATS!) that you’ll want to make! There are 35 hat patterns in all!
I’m honored to be a part of it with a Crazy-Patch Bucket Hat design (page 200!), but honestly, the woman who deserves all the credit in the world is the amazing Carla Hegeman Crim, aka The Scientific Seamstress. Carla and I have been friends for years and it all started from the beginnings of YouCanMakeThis.com. She not only brought all of these designers — 29 of them — together for Sewn Hats, but was also the technical editor AND illustrator of the book. And if you’ve ever created a pattern from Carla, you know how detail-oriented and thorough she is. Well, she’s gone above and beyond with Sewn Hats and I have no doubt you’ll enjoy having this book in your pattern collection. Designers such as Kaari Meng (French General), Joanna Figueroa (Fig Tree and Co.), Patty Young (ModKid Designs), Jennifer Paganelli (SisBoom), Betz White (BetzWhite.com) and so many more, are all a part of this collaboration.
Another cool thing? Wiley Publishing has made the patterns themselves available in PDF format. So what does that mean for you? When you purchase the soft-bound book, you’re also going to receive access to all of the patterns via download. (And you know how much I love downloadable patterns!) You can print them as often as you’d like, you don’t have to worry about tracing and cutting your only copy, and you will always have access to those patterns. Fantastic!
Would you like to win a copy of this book? Take a look at these photos and let me know which you’d like to make! A winner will be randomly chosen Friday, October 12, 2012.
Would love to make the birthday hats…#214. How cute would that be for my sons birthday bash… Coming up in November!
I’d first make #140 for my little guy. CUTE!
I’d make #140 for my little boy. It is so cute!! I would also make 172 for my daughter!
№116 for my son!!!it will suit a stylish hat)
Thank you!!!☺
Very fun! I think I’d start with #62, #116 and then #214! All so cute!
Love the little aviator hat 62 would be so perfect for cold winter days ahead of us in Utah
I would like to make #58! It is just my style!
Wahoooooooo for 100!!! Fun for my granddaughters!
I would make 116 first, for my son. What 10 year old aspiring drummer doesn’t need an awesomely cool hat like that!
There are so many it is hard too choose! First, I would make #40 for my granddaughters, then #46 for my grandsons…then probably would daughters would want one but I would let them choose!
So hard to choose, but I think #172 because at least 1 of my 11 granddaughters would love it.
I would like to make 128 & lots of others!
I am an 55+ woman but really adore #146. Fun and perky – for myself, and then the grands could pick
It’s so hard to choose just one. 26 looks interesting.
I really like #26.
It is so hard to choose, but I love number 184 for my adorable granddaughters.
I love hats! Would especially like to make myself #86, thanks for the chance.
My son loves hats. I think he would love me to make him # 140. So,many great ideas on hats. I’m buying this book. Thank You for sharing this book.
I love all sorts of hats! The first one I would make from this book if I win would be #146. How cute it is!!
I would love to make your hat!!!!
thanks for the opportunity
I would start with 100…. after that I couldn’t decide whether 80 or 76 would be cuter!!
I really like #26. I make sunbonnets for my granddaughter all the time.
Number 116 for all my kids!
All have great appeal but will start with 46 for grandson, 20 and 40 for grand nieces and 196 for fun.
I’d love to make number 40. If I win the book, I’ll be making number 34 for sure. Oh and 172, 124…..
Thanks!

116 is for me. It has a vintage look to it. Fred Astair dancing in the rain.
I would love to make number 116 for my sons. They just love that style hat and I have been eager to have a pattern to make one in a fabric of their choosing. This looks like a great book!
It would have to be #116, so my kiddos could look and feel like their favorite singer, Toby Mac!
I just watched your episode showing the bird pincushion with Joel Dewberry. Sorry I could not find a link to the pattern but am so glad to find your site. Thanks!!
#69 and #80
Also agree with the above post about #116 – would be great for TobyMac fans!!!
#146 is the hat for me. I can see embellishing it with lots of fun stuff and wearing it different ways!!
I love them! I would start with the children’s for grandbabies.
If I won the book, the first hat that I would make is #72 for my sister-in-law who just had triplets! Super cute for the holidays!
I would love to win Hat #78. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
How can I choose just one!! But I think 142 would be fun to make!!
Ok shoot I meant 172 darn fingers not working!!
I would make number 80 for my little niece!
crossing my fingers…

#178 would be my choice. My son is too old for “cute” sewing projects, but this hat would be just his style!
Kim, they are adorable! I would love to make 116 for Zander….he’d love it!
I would make number 34 for my son. It’s one of his favorite styles of hats. Thank you for the great give away.

#146 makes me smile!! I love the new trend of the mini tophat. Such an adorable way to add some fresh style and twist instead of the traditional bow or headband.
I would make number 54 for my 3 girls and myself. We love to make cooking shows together and a hat like that would make it even more of a blast!
I would take care for my man first with #158
My daughter loves hats… would love to make #58 for her!
These hats are darling! I’m especially in love with number 40.
I would make #86 for my girls, girlfriends and myself-it shouts Dorothy! But then I love hats
Love all those hats but I would make #24.
