A classic hat style for men and women. Made in classic wool or funky modern prints, this Fedora is oozing with style!

This hat pattern combines millinery techniques with modern production techniques, and is designed to bring your sewing skills to a whole new level


The instructions are VERY DETAILED - like a hat-making class in a packet - and 'hold your hand' throughout the entire process. There are lots of tips and techniques for making the hat come together without being scary!
