Here's 12yr old Summer wearing a hat that she designed and made down at the RAW Studio last week --This was her process:
She felted the crown over a ball to get a basic dome shape, and she didn't like it much. So I encouraged her to think about what hat shape she DOES like and we looked at some options online -- she got really excited about a hat she remembered seeing in a movie, so we looked it up on YouTube.
So we took her head measurement and drafted a brim -- she really got excited about drafting and altering a paper pattern to fit herself! And she sewed it up and then indigo-dyed it in our vat.
Her enthusiasm encouraged Henna and I to put together a few Fashion Mini Projects for Teens for spring break:
