Sun Hat Sewing Class - Sydney
Tax included
The Sun Hat Sewing Class is perfect for you if you're able to sew your own garments and would like to learn the tips and tricks to making a beautifully finished sun hat. This workshop will take you through cutting and constructing either the Stella or Himari Sun Hat — both Nikki Dent Design patterns, supplied on the day.
You'll work through topstitching, linings and brim finishing with hands-on guidance throughout, leaving with the confidence and skills to make another whenever you like. Classes are held in the back of our Surry Hills store in Sydney, in small groups of up to four. Feel free to browse in store before or after your session.
Pattern & fabric requirements
Two sun hat patterns by Nikki Dent Design are available for this class — choose the one that suits your level. Both patterns are supplied on the day.
