All patterns include comprehensive instructions and both frame and cover patterns (where applicable). This makes building and completing the hat much easier.

Now, anyone can make a hat without any special training!! You just need to know how to sew.

A Word About Hat Foundations:
A hat foundation can be made from a variety of materials including 2-Ply crown buckram, 1-Ply buckram, cloth, crinoline, straw, felt, and more. Or, they can be constructed from a mixture of materials. Cover in the fabric of your choice.

Denise Nadine Design Foundations:
Our Buckram Frame Patterns are designed for 2-Ply crown buckram and 19 gauge millinery wire unless otherwise specified.

Fabric Patterns can be made from any fabric or as specified in instructions.

Straw Hat Frames coming soon.

Note: Each pattern has an individual page with detailed information. From there, you can add it to your cart.
