Trim Your Own Chapeau

Workshop led by Susan Jarrett

Founder & Lead Designer of Maggie May Clothing

Join Susan in Historic Rugby’s Hester Hall to create your own, one of a kind trimmed hat, using one of Maggie May Clothing’s exclusive, pre-made straw hat bases. Choose from an array of millinery quality florals as well as laces and a rainbow of their botanical hand dyed silk ribbons! Workshop participants will leave with one fully trimmed straw hat for all to admire. 

Suitable for ages 10 and up. No experience needed.

Participants are asked to provide their own scissors, pins, needle and thread (tan recommended), or hot glue and glue gun (if not comfortable with hand sewing).

All exclusive, pre-made straw hat bases, millinery flowers, ribbons, trims, and instruction will be provided.
