In the hot season, or even just on the eve of summer, the safety of our and children's heads is relevant. Some protect them, covering them with a kerchief, some with a cap, some with a hat, and some just make panamas from the newspaper. Any ways are good!
In this article, we will consider how to sew a panama hat.
All calculations and patterns are suitable for 38, 42, 46, 48 and 52 cm head circumferences.
If you look at the details of the pattern of a children's panama hat, you can see the dependence of the increase in size. You can also change the circumference of the head to 54, 56.
In the image of part # 3, you can see that the drawing is slightly cropped. It did not fit on the A4 format, but it is also realistic to finish painting it yourself. All 3 patterns are in A4 format. It is enough to print and cut along the required lines.
Materials for sewing a panama hat
Fabric 150 cm wide and 30 cm long for panama, non-woven fabric, 1 cm wide and 70 cm long ribbon for decoration.
Number of parts: 1- upper part of the crown (circle) -1pc, 2- lower part of the crown with a fold - 1pc, 3- fields with a fold - 2pc.
A fold is a dotted line in a drawing. This side of the pattern must be applied to the fold of the fabric.
Lay out on the fabric as shown in the picture, just add one more detail 3. Cut out. 1 cm allowances.
Panama sewing sequence
1. Glue the panama details with non-woven fabric.
2. Sew back middle seam on the bottom of the crown. The width of the seam is -1 cm. Iron the seams. If necessary, overlock their edges.
3. Chip and sweep the upper and lower parts of the crown, slightly touching the lower part. Create machine stitch. Take out the basting. Overlock the slices. Turn the allowances to the lower part of the crown and delay with the finishing stitch.
4. On the panama hem, make the middle back seams. Iron the allowances.
5. Panama brim to connect face to face. Stitch outer cuts. Cut the seam allowances to 0.2-0.3 cm. It is advisable to iron them out with the tip of the iron - then the turned-out seam will be better laid out. Turn out the fields. Place finishing lines at the same distance from the edge of the brim.
6. Pin open sections of the brim to the bottom of the panama crown (face with face). Stitch, overlock the sections. Press the seam allowances on the crown.
7. If desired, the last seam of the seam can be closed with tape from the wrong side.
8. If no decorative tape is sewn on the front side, then at this stage it is necessary to top off the seam with a decorative stitch.
If you sew on the tape, the stitching will lie along its edge. It is practiced to put a cord under the tape to adjust the width of the panama hat, but this is valid provided that the product is sewn from soft fabrics.
Also, this style of panama can be done in another way.

The next 4 pictures with sketches differ in different styles. Look closely, perhaps you will be able to decorate your product in a special way.
In preparation for the article, I studied a lot of material from the Internet. And since I only share a pattern that needs to be printed, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with other drawings that you can build yourself.
In the first drawing, you can see that the margins are quite large. They can be either increased or decreased.
Let me remind you that there is such a technique to proportionally increase the details (sides and lines). You need to calculate one side, which you will know exactly by size and find out the magnification factor.
For example, the drawing says that it should be 16 cm, but only 4 cm is drawn (attach a ruler and measure). This means that in full size all dimensions (measured with a ruler in the figure) must be increased by 4 times.
And there is one more difference. In some patterns of panama hats, the central part is drawn round, and in others - oval. It's a matter of taste. It is better to take a closer look at the purchased models and decide for yourself which he likes best.
Each model can also be decorated with lace, as in this picture.
Here is a selection patterns of panama hats I did it. If you have any questions, ask in the comments. And we also considered how to sew a panama hat. And if your daughters like kerchiefs more, then you can read the sequence of their sewing in this one. So, what remains is to look for the fabric and forward to the sewing machine!
Oh yes, for those who do not have a sewing machine, I suggest the sequence of making a panama hat from a newspaper.

The process will not take long. And the result will be beautiful and delight you and those around you, and most importantly - to protect your baby's head from the sun.
Materials:
- The main fabric is approximately 0.5 x 0.5 m square.
- Thermal fabric to strengthen the margins 7 cm x 60 cm.
- Threads to match or in harmony with the color of the fabric
- Bow (flower) for decoration (optional)
- Tools (machine, scissors, basting needles)
- Pattern
The panama pattern can be easily drawn by yourself according to this scheme:
To build a pattern to the desired size measure your head circumference and divide by 3.14 (Og / 3.14 = D)- this will be the diameter of the panama bottom.
The radius of the panama's fields is calculated by the formula:
R2 = Head circumference / 2 * 3.14 + width of the panama brim (6-13 cm).
Crown - rectangle AB = A1B1 - head circumference, AA1 = BB1 - product depth (usually 9-10 cm.)
Solid geometry. 🙂

Cut the lining along the upper details. For lining fabrics it is best to use natural fabrics - chintz, linen, calico, satin, etc. If the fabric is new, it must be washed and ironed with a hot iron to avoid shrinkage when washing the hat.

How to make a pattern for a children's panama
The pattern of this model of a panama hat is simple, and the hat itself will be sewn from only two identical parts. So that you can start sewing a panama hat, I am attaching a pattern of this panama hat completely free of charge. Pattern without allowances, do not forget to add them during the cut.
In order for you to have a pattern for this panama hat, you need a printer and tape.
If you have both, then select each image of the pattern and save them on the "Desktop" of your computer or in a special folder. Then open each image in any graphics editor, for example "Paint" and print them at full size (100%).
Sizes: B - (solid line) pattern for a child of 12-24 months. K - (dotted line) pattern for a child 2-4 years old, C - from 4 to 6 years old
Note the 20cm (15cm) and 23cm points. These are the reference values ​​needed to check the pattern after printing on the printer. If, after printing the pattern, the lower horizontal of the left side is 20cm (right -15cm), and the vertical (the connecting line of both parts of the pattern) is 23 cm, then the size of the pattern is correct. If these data are slightly different, then you will need to adjust the print settings of the printer or expand the pattern in any way known to you, for example, cut it (glued) vertically and horizontally and slightly push the parts apart.
Both parts of the pattern are glued with tape, then outlined on the fabric and this part is turned along the fold line. Allowances (1 cm) are added along the contour and cut out.
To avoid spoiling the paper, print this test square first. If its sides are 13 cm, then you can print the details of the panama pattern.
Technology of sewing children's summer panama
Sewing this hat with your own hands is not difficult at all, it is enough to cut out two identical parts of the hat from the same material or combine it as in my master class.
Then pin them together, or sweep them together with the right sides facing inward.
Sew these parts on a sewing machine along the curvy contour of the panama, with an allowance of 1 cm, as shown in the photo.
Be sure to leave a small area not sewn up, within 5-7 cm.
To make the panama hat look neat in finished form, be sure to cut the sections concave inward, as shown in this photo. Be careful not to cut the seam.
Convex areas, on the contrary, need to be cut off. In this case, these curved sections will be laid out well.
How to turn out the panama hat correctly
Now you need to find the hole left unstitched and turn the panama through it over your face.
Turn it out more carefully so as not to break the connecting seam.
Here is such a panama hat, outwardly, somewhat similar to a stingray.
Finishing stitching along the edge of the panama
In order for the seam to be laid out neatly and evenly, be sure to fasten it with oblique stitches after turning the hat inside out, as shown in the photo.
Iron along the outline of the panama, making sure the seam runs exactly along the rib.
The hole through which you turned the hat inside out also needs to be ironed, with the same allowance.
The hole will have to be sewn up manually, with neat inconspicuous stitches.
After that, you will only have to make one or two finishing lines along the contour of the panama.
Place the finishing stitch along the edge of the panama on the wrong side, 2 mm away from the edge. If you are only going to make one line, you can step back a little more.
The edge of the panama, finished with two finishing stitches, seems to me to be more beautiful.
How to make button loops on a panama hat
On the panama pattern, there is a buttonhole marking for each of the three cap sizes. Transfer this marking to the panama hat, mark the length of the buttonhole and sew the buttonhole on the sewing machine.
Now, with the help of a ripper, you need to cut the loops, taking care not to damage the loop threads.
How to adjust the size of the panama
If you make a mistake with the size of the hat, or your child grows up, the size of the hat can be easily changed.
To do this, it is enough to increase or decrease the distance between the buttons that you sewed on the back section of the panama.
This is how cute and original this hat will look on the back of your child's or doll's head.
It is better to put a soft cotton fabric inside such a hat.
