Please note: Depending on your hand sewing skills and the complexity of your design, you might not be able to fully complete your hat in the three sessions.
You may want to take your hat home to work on it there, or be guided in your choice of design to suit your skill level. Full advice will be available from your tutor.
The course is designed to be an introduction to the process, to allow you to repeat it later at home. All material is included but you are also welcome to bring your own top fabric or trim. |
