Design your own summer hat!

In this class, we will be adding some flair to your classic dad hat. All supplies will be provided, including hats and an selection of summer designs. We will begin by learning a few basic embroidery techniques and stitches with a focus on embroidering on wearable items. You will then have time to stitch your hat with instructor Rachael’s assistance and leave with a completed project or the supplies to finish at home. This is a great class for beginners or those looking to expand their embroidery knowledge!
