Bucket Hats - Art & Jazz Festival

Grand Junction, Colorado hosted their 20th Anniversary Wells Fargo
Art and Jazz Festival over the weekend.

Main Street comes alive with jazz music performed by local and national artists, artist demonstrations in a variety of mediums and artists selling beautiful, high-quality work. This three-day festival surrounds the re-installation of Art on the Corner sculptures. A celebration of art and music, this outdoor event features street vendors, live music, extended shopping hours with participating merchants and other fun activities.

One of the almost 100 juried art vendors along Main Street over the weekend offered handmade clothing products for children. All the items were reversible with different fabrics on each side.
Here is a contrasting vintage fabric bucket. How cute!! It has a Velcro bow attachable to either side of the hat. And it is just the ticket for my four year old grand niece in Texas.

If you would like to made a hat, a great website is this one: Hats. There are all types of patterns there that can be sewn, crocheted or knit. Be sure and scroll through to the last pages. Those last two pages have the pattern (downloadable to your printer).

And this picture is fabric and ribbon that I want to make up into a hat using a Butterick pattern. The material will be made into a similar one shown in yellow in the upper left corner of the photo. It is just one of those projects still on the drawing board.
