Straw and Felt Hat Blocking
Instructor:  Jan Wutkowski
(910) 397-9099
jan@hatshatshats.com
 

Students need to bring their basic sewing basket (scissors, needles, bead-head pins, thread in basic colors, tape measure, etc.) plus 1/2"-wide elastic, and any embellishments they want with which to decorate their hats.  This can be feathers, silk flowers, ribbon, veiling, buttons, beading, old brooches, braid, etc.  There will be a range of hat colors to choose from--basically black, brown, navy, red, burgundy, natural colored straw, and a few other colors.
 
Students should wear comfortable clothes which may get wet in the steaming process.
 
As a reminder, students will be making two (2) hats:  a brimless felt hat, and a wide-brimmed straw hat.
