How to make a bucket hat DIY with a clear face shield {free PDF pattern}

In this video sewing tutorial I will show you how to sew a bucket hat with a transparent shield made from clear vinyl. I made a sewing pattern in two sizes – adult and child. The project is very easy even for beginners.

The hat provides good coverage for your nose, mouth and eyes without blocking your view and can be used indoors and outdoors. It’s safe for kids. It doesn’t fog because it’s not very close to the face. The vinyl shield can be disinfected with alcohol. The hat has thin straps to secure it under the chin on windy days.
