I made a wide brimmed hat a little while ago. I wanted something that really shades my face area when I am outside, especially when I go to a farmers market because it's often outside.
This is one side, and the fabric is called farmers market, so I thought it was cute to use it on one side. It is a 100 % cotton quilting fabric.

The other side is a linen and cotton blend fabric which was an end of the roll remnant that the store cut into about a size of a fat quarter to sell off. The fabric size was just right to make this hat. I like a reversible hat. It feels like I have two hats while I actually only have one.

As both cotton and linen shrink when you wash it, so I prewashed it. However, even after the second wash, it shrunk a tiny bit, and now it is a very snug hat that will not blow off even by a moderate-strength wind.
