Sewing Hats

Sewing turns the fit, the finish and the pockets into decisions somebody can actually make. Fabric, patterns, seams and alterations are the working vocabulary, with the seam ripper nearby whenever a decision needs reconsidering. Sewing communities also know the pleasure of collecting beautiful material; Seamwork's discussion of fabric stashes captures the familiar gap between what is waiting on the shelf and what has made it onto the machine. These sewing hats put the emphasis on making and remaking rather than collecting. The seam ripper becomes a creative director. Ready to wear becomes a suggestion. Pockets go wherever the sewist says they go, and the machine declines to recognize a deadline. Sewist and sewing club badges anchor a collection for garment makers who treat every outfit as a set of possibilities. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. The collection mixes bold identity badges with sentence designs in serif and sans type, with considered line breaks and contrasting thread. Choose a hat for your own favorite pastime or give one to the person whose enthusiasm you recognize immediately.
