Book Description:
This book is centered around designing and making hats, authored by a designer who specializes in bag creation. During her previous work in the fashion industry, she was responsible for designing and planning clothing accessories, frequently working with hats.
Besides clothing and bags—items that leave a lasting impression—hats are also very eye-catching and practical!
On windy or rainy days, when you don’t have time to fix your hair, or simply want to keep your head warm, or just want to add a stylish touch—wearing a hat needs no reason. When you look at yourself in the mirror, everything just feels right!
This is a cheerful hat-making book. Whether you're going out or just taking a walk nearby, "wearing a hat casually and effortlessly, looking adorable without trying too hard"—that’s the author’s design goal.
The book features a variety of styles, including the versatile and casual fisherman's hat, the charming lady’s hat with a curved brim, the sailor’s cap suitable for Japanese fashion, the European-style newsboy and naval caps, the cute and playful beret, and the casual yet cool baseball cap.
Refer to the projects in the book and customize your own hat to match your preferences!
Although many of the designs involve curves and arcs, making a satisfying hat may not be easy at first. However, the basic process of hat-making is quite similar across styles. By practicing various techniques during the process, you’ll naturally learn to sew neatly and beautifully!
Come and challenge yourself to experience the joy of creating your own hat!
