I started making scrub hats when my ODP daughter found it impossible to buy a scrub hat that would be comfortable all day and ensure her long hair was kept safely tucked away.
We worked together to get the perfect fit and it wasn't long before her colleagues were sending me their orders!
After a few months of testing for comfort, robustness and wash-ability at the local NHS hospital, I opened my little shop HowellmadeDevon, here on Etsy. This has allowed me to share my hats with you, my lovely customers.
Over the last few years I've managed to add many different designs and different style hats to my inventory. The original elasticated hat is always there and has recently been joined by hats with adjustable toggle fastenings. I also offer hats with a tie-back in some designs and have also thrown into the shop the occasional matching scrunchy.
Now, I know that you all like your hats to fit perfectly and feel comfortable and as you all have different sized heads my hats may need the odd tweak here and there. As all hats are made to order I am able to make adjustments to your personal requirements - just message me with your measurements at the time of ordering.
I am also able to offer a personalisation service of up to two lines of text.
The success of my little shop has been a lovely surprise. I absolutely love searching for new fabrics which I think you'll love and, as sewing has been a life-long passion of mine, making them all up in my garden sewing room, here in Devon, is such a pleasure.
