Long associated with elegance and sophistication, top hats have been the classic headgear of choice from Regency dandies to Fred Astaire. Instantly recognizable, a top hat elevates any outfit. Join Jazmine to learn how to make your very own custom creation, using both historic millinery methods and some modern short cuts. You can bring your own fabric to finish off your hat, or choose from what MAXT has in stock. Whether you’re creating  a costume for Honest Abe, Mr Darcy, or just want to feel dapper everyday, learning to create this iconic hat is achievable with basic hand sewing skills and a little patience. Please be advised, millinery work takes some hand strength to get the needle through multiple layers of fabric, so take this into consideration before signing up.
