An exciting new class - HATS!!                        

 Hats are so full of expression, glamour and fun.   In this really fun class students will learn to create and embellish the basic “Pod” or “Point” hat.  This is a small, brimless hat made with buckram and supporting wire that is a hat by itself or the foundation for many, many other styles.  Students will cover the hat in fabric and embellishments of their own choosing.   Your foundation kit will include supplies enough for 2 hats; buckram, supporting wire, bias crinoline for covering the wire, padding, and elastic and comb for fitting. 

Students will provide:

• their fabric choice for covering the outside (1/2 yard for covering and cutting a bias strip),
• lining for covering the inside (a 12x12 piece is sufficient)( fabrics are PER hat, if there is time for 2),
• embellishment of choice (feathers will be available for sale), lace, netting, flowers, fabric to make flowers, necktie (yes, necktie!), etc.
• and sewing supplies, i.e.,
• needle and thread
• scissors,
• straight pins (long quilter pins are great)
