Design & Sew a Statement Cap

In person

Tea Montgomery

Fiber Arts Workshop: All Levels

Create a one-of-a-kind statement hat that reflects your personal style while learning the fundamentals of hat making.

Students will cut, assemble, shape, and finish a soft fabric cap using basic machine sewing techniques, gaining experience with pattern layout, curved seams, lining, brim construction, and professional finishing methods. Space will be given for instruction, troubleshooting, slower sewing speeds, and individual creative choices.

Inspired by wearable art and everyday self-presentation, this workshop treats the cap as an accessory, part of a costume, as well as a small sculptural object.

Students will leave with a completed handmade cap and a better understanding of how simple construction techniques can become personal design language.
