How to sew a Dido bob?

Here's Dido, a little extravagant but so memorable you'll be the star on the beach this summer! Somewhere between a bob and a floppy hat - because we couldn't decide between the two - it lends itself to all fabrics, as long as you iron it on and make sure the multiple topstitching adorns the visor. Add a pretty cotton cord and a stopper to push the detail to the limit, and voilà!

Very easy to sew, you can finish it in an afternoon, including cutting the fabric, and if you make people jealous, you can give it as a gift (we're counting on you)! For our part, we used our daisy pink fabric, and a polka pink satin lining, which you can find at here and here. For the cord and stopper, we found them at the Marché St Pierre, but you can also find them at haberdashery online. Dido is a pattern reserved exclusively for subscribers, a little treat you'll find at the end of every quarter, in February (our Cindy pattern arrived a little late), May, August and November. It signals the start of the good times, with the Darling pattern available at the end of the month. 

To sew Dido, you'll need :
-0.7m fabric in 1.40m width or 0.9m fabric in 1.10m width,
-0.5m lining in 1.10m width,
-0.5m fusible webbing,
-1m 5mm cotton cord,
-1 stopper,
-have a subscription (it's per here to subscribe).

Happy sewing!
