How to Die Cut Bucket Hat Shapes:

- To cut one Bucket Hat:
- Fabric Color 1: Fuse fabric with an interfacing like June Tailor® T-Shirt Project Fusible Interfacing. Cut one 7 3/4" square and place it on the Top (circle) shape to cut one shape. Cut four 7" x 4 3/4" rectangles and place them on the Side (straight) shape to cut four shapes. Cut four 8 7/8" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place them on the Brim (curved) shape to cut four shapes.

Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
Use adhesive roller or die pick to clean lint and thread from dies. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
