Happy Fantastic Hats

About

Each hat is handcrafted in my Burlington, Vermont studio.  I sew my artisanal hats and small accessories from scratch. My hats are one-of-a-kind or made in VERY limited, small batches.  Some of my hats are hand printed with my art before I sew them.  Many are sustainably made using unwanted fabric remnants and scraps.

Original Hand-printed Art

My work begins as analog pencil and ink drawings on paper.  I transfer my art to a silkscreen and hand print my art on fabric.  Then I cut the fabric and sew it into a hat.  Each hat takes between 1.5 - 3 hours to make.

Sustainably Made

I source many of my fabrics locally using sustainable methods such as thrifting, up-cycling ripped clothing, and collecting donations.  I also use my scraps and patchwork them together to create one-of-a-kind looks.
