About this Event

Come join the EXLAB staff and community for a witch hat making workshop! Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced sewist, a spooky workshop like this is a fun and simple way to get to know a sewing machine and a few staples of fabric crafting. Together, we’ll be sewing a reversible witch hat just in time for spooky season!

We will be using a pattern by @arinicocosplay on Instagram, and assembling the whole thing together, from cutting to topstitching; however, you must know how to operate a sewing machine to attend.

This workshop has few things that need to be taken care of before participation.Required materials are:

• 1 yard of your main fabric
• 1 yard of a contrast or lining fabric
• Thread
• Buckram or heavy interfacing (EXLAB can provide this)
• 2 Yards of 1 or 2-inch ribbon (optional)
• 2 Yards of 1/2 inch bias tape (optional)

EXLAB provides:

• Sewing machines
• Irons and ironing boards
• Cutting mats, scissors, and rotary cutters
• The witch hat template/pattern we will be using for the workshop

This workshop will take approximately three hours, but has the possibility of running longer depending on the amount of attendants.
