HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN HATS FROM SCRATCH

YES, YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO DESIGN AND MAKE HATS THAT WILL HAVE OTHER
PEOPLE’S HEADS TURNING IN ADMIRATION!

EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START… EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER
BEEN VERY CREATIVE… EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER BEEN MUCH GOOD AT SEWING
OR KNITTING OR CROCHETING… YOU’VE JUST FOUND THE SECRET TO MAKING
FUN, FASHIONABLE HATS FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

Dear Friend,

YOU’RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO START
DESIGNING, MAKING AND DECORATING YOUR OWN HATS – FOR ALL REASONS AND
ALL SEASONS.

These ideas, patterns and easy-to-follow instructions are the same
ones that beginning hat makers, all over the world, have used to SEW,
KNIT, CROCHET OR CRAFT THEIR OWN STUNNING HATS.

My name is Linley and I’M A HAT LOVER! For more than 30 years
I’ve been making clothes and fashion accessories for fun. More
recently I discovered the art and science of hat making and have spent
many months trying out new ideas, talking to crafters, pouring over
millinery books in the library and scouring the internet in order to
help other hat lovers UNLEASH THEIR CREATIVE FLAIR AND GET STARTED
MAKING THEIR OWN HATS.

“Just a quick note to thank you for your fantastic book. I love
wearing hats and I’ve often thought about making my own but it all
seemed too hard. Your easy to read e-book gave me lots of really
simple ideas to try out.

All the bonus links to extra ideas and free patterns are great and I
found the video tutorials particularly useful as I haven’t had my
sewing machine or knitting needles out for awhile! To save time,
I’ve also used one or two of the websites to order materials.

Thanks to this book I have had a lot of fun making and wearing my
own original hat designs and after all the compliments I’ve had,
I’m planning on making them as gifts for my friends. Who knows,
maybe one day I can start making money from my new hobby.”

RUTH HUGHES

If you’re a hat lover or just interested in hats, then I’m sure
you’d love to know how to MAKE YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED HAT CREATIONS.
IT’S SO EASY, INEXPENSIVE AND REWARDING that you’ll be a “hat
person” for life!

This is the first e-book that brings together all the information
you need to quickly and easily make a variety of popular hat styles,
with readily available materials and tools you’ve probably had lying
around home for years. It is a fun and informative, step-by-step guide
written for those new to hat making.

WHAT MAKES THIS FUN, INFORMATIVE GUIDE SO EXCITING IS
THAT IT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO…

* Quickly and easily make professional looking hats for much less
than you would pay for them in the store. All the hats featured in
this e-book can be made in an evening, some in just 30 minutes in
seven easy steps. The great news is that hats use very little fabric
or yarn (it’s a great way to use up your old scraps!) so unlike many
others, hat making is a nice cheap hobby to have!
* Use your imagination and creative flair to create your own
fashion statements.  Let your creativity run wild. Once you know how,
the options for making beautiful (or maybe even crazy!), customized,
made-to-measure hats are limitless.
* Make lots of different styles of hats for all reasons and all
seasons. Maybe you want to make a gorgeous gathered beret or a stylish
sunhat to match your swimwear. Perhaps a classic cloche or a fancy
fascinator is what you need for that special occasion?  Hats are
practical too… What about something practical like a beanie or a
fashionable faux fur hat to keep your head warm this winter? How about
a snood for those “bad hair” days! There are even instructions for
making simple bandanas and comfy hats for someone going through
chemotherapy.
* Have fun making costume hats with your children. Just in case you
have a school project or need help to whip up a Witch or Wizard hat
for Halloween or a Santa Claus hat for Christmas, maybe even an Easter
bonnet – you can find them too.
* Make hats to spice up your favorite outfits. With more than 25
featured hats, numerous ideas for variations and tons of links to free
patterns, you’ll never be lost for hat making projects. If you’re
really keen, you can even make a hat for each outfit!
* Learn a useful and fun new craft. This book was written with
people new to hat making in mind but it is also a great resource for
people who have had a bit of experience and want some different ideas
on hats they can make. Some very basic sewing experience is assumed
but I’ve pointed out a few “how-to” sites in case you're just
starting out in knitting or crocheting or you need to brush up on your
skills. If you can draw a circle and rectangle, and can sew even a
little bit, you’ll be stunned at what you can achieve.
* Decorate and renovate your old hats. And you thought that
renovating was just for houses! If you’re anything like me, you have
a cupboard or several draws full of old hats. No doubt some of them
have seen better days – perhaps they’re a bit jaded and faded but
nothing that a good spruce up can’t fix! Check out my e-book for a
wide range of hat decorating ideas that will turn hideous old hats
into admired accessories.
* Do your bit for the environment. Recycled clothing is all the
rage, so transform those “too tight” jeans into a denim hat, which
never seems to go out of style. You can even unpick an old sweater and
put your pre-loved yarn to good use.
* Set new Vintage trends. Now back in vogue, vintage style hats
from the early to mid 1900’s are the latest trend. You’ll find
classic patterns and step-by-step instructions for traditional ways of
making eye-catching hats.
* Make personalized, made-to-measure, handmade gifts for the
special people in your life. Imagine the look of delight and surprise
when your loved ones unwrap that special hat that you’ve made just
for them. A hat is something they can wear and cherish for life.
* Tackle more advanced hat making projects and maybe even turn your
new hobby into a money-making venture. If you’re looking for
opportunities to supplement your income then hat making might be just
the thing. Craft fairs are everywhere (not to mention the internet)
and with a few weeks of effort you can create your own hat collection
to sell. The fantastic bonus book you’ll receive with my e-book has
tips and techniques for making even more head-turning hats you may be
able to turn into profit.
* Look great and feel great. Enjoy those admiring glances and
smiles every time you step out in a brand new, made-by-you hat!

WHO I AM AND WHY I CAN HELP

I guess you could say that making things is in my blood! My parents
owned clothing businesses when I was growing up. While the other kids
were out having fun, I would spend my school holidays in the sewing
room clipping cottons, cutting binding, packing T-shirts and of course
sweeping the floor!

But it was worth it…

At the end of the week, when my little brown pay packet arrived
I’d be off to the store to check out the latest Vogue pattern books
and pick some fabric to make my own clothes. I remember when I was
about 14; I made myself a fully lined brown tweed suit – jacket,
skirt, waistcoat and a beret to match. I was so proud. When I stepped
out in that suit I felt like a real business woman – a sign of
things to come!

I LEARNED FROM THE EXPERTS!

My Dad was a keen cyclist. Every Saturday afternoon, come rain or
shine, Mom would pack us off to go watch Dad ride his bike. The
reality was that the women and children had a great old time, sitting
around chatting and drinking cups of tea while the men chased each
other around the quiet country streets on their racing bikes.

As I got older I got interested in what the “old ladies” were
doing while they were chatting and drinking their tea. (I realize now
that these “old ladies” were actually younger than I am now but we
won’t dwell on that!). Each week they brought their latest knitting
and crochet projects along and I would bug them to teach me how to do
it.  I listened and learned and thanks to their kindness and endless
patience, I could eventually knit even the most difficult patterns. 
I never quite mastered the art of crochet but I’m working on it!

FAST FORWARD 30+ YEARS

Fast forward a few decades and I still love making things. I’m now
in my 40’s, a working mother with four children (including
triplets!) of my own. Although spare time is a luxury, I found myself
still yearning for a relaxing outlet for my creative talents. I’m
long past those ambitious dressmaking and sweater knitting projects,
so I got to wondering what could I do…?

Where we live it gets quite cold in the winter and very hot in the
summer, so hats really are a practical necessity and not just for
show. One day I was out shopping with my two girls and we had lots of
fun trying on all different types of hats. Each time I picked one up
I’d try it on, look at the price and think “I could make that hat
for less than half the price.”  Or “it would look better if it
had matching stitching, or a smaller bow at the back, or a bigger
brim, or it was a different blue to go with that new jacket” – you
get the picture?!

And so, I discovered the joy of hat making! I did my research,
dusted off my trusty old sewing machine, found my old knitting bag
with various needles and crochet hooks and got to work making all
kinds of fun and fashionable hats for me and my loved ones.  Word
soon got out and people started asking me how they too could make
their own hats,

Everything you need to know to make a hat is right here at your

“HATS ARE A FANTASTIC WAY TO UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY. THEY ARE
QUICK AND EASY TO DESIGN AND MAKE, THEY DON’T COST MUCH, THEY LOOK
GREAT AND THEY’RE SUCH FUN TO WEAR.”

Of course, you may be saying to yourself, “Sure Linley, this all
sounds fantastic but WHAT ABOUT ME? CAN I REALLY DO IT?

That’s a good question. The good news is; if you have a tape
measure or ruler, can draw a few shapes (I usually do it on the
computer or trace around a dinner plate), and can sew even a little
bit, you can quickly and easily make fashionable hats that you’ll be
proud to wear. It really is that easy.

Once you start, you’ll soon gain the confidence to experiment and
try out new styles. For example, all you need to do to make a gorgeous
gathered beret is cut a 15” circle for the crown and a rectangle
your head size long (about 23”) and 2” wide. Follow the
step-by-step instructions on how to sew the pieces together and voila,
your own one-of-a-kind hat that would look great made in light wool
fabric for winter or perhaps raw silk for summer. You might even want
to decorate it with a small bow or rosette on the side – of course
it’s up to you… it’s your hat!

“On surfing the Web looking to make a hat for myself, I came
across this e-book.  I have found it easy to read and understand,
with heaps of patterns and ideas. It is very satisfying to find
patterns that are user-friendly and can be completed in one session. 
I particularly liked the first simple fringed fleeced hat and plan to
make some really colorful ones for this winter – look out for them
on the ski slopes!”
