Bill Page, our co-founder's husband stopped by yesterday with a request. He wanted me to make him one of our bucket lids that he would be able to wear on his upcoming family vacation to Disney. Sue, GMom, Amy, Katherine, Sydney, and Harrison are all going to be sporting one of our bucket lids while visiting Disney, Wild Kingdom, MGM, and just hanging out at the pool. Bill is behind The Little Hat Company 100% and wanted to show his support. Bill is also hugely creative and wanted a one-of-a kind lid, the first ever if you will. I told him to pick out his fabric and when I dropped the kids off later that day I would sew his lid for him.So after hours in the pool, we're having a New England heatwave, I received a call from Bill. He wanted to know if I could make a Bucket Lid for him from one of his old shirts that he wasn't wearing anymore.
Voila - our first "Green" Bucket Lid made from a shirt Bill was no longer wearing in his closet. He asked me to somehow incorporate the tag from his glory days. I also used one of his cotton Timberland T'shirts that had seen better days for the lining. It was new but oddly familiar and Bill loved it!!
If you have a shirt in your closet that you would like made into a bucket lid email the little hatters - friendlyperson@thelittlehatcompany.com . Tell us your size and style of lid you would like it made into and we'll send you the address to ship you article of clothing to and the expected date of transformation. We're very excited to start recycling your closet!!
