Hello friends! This is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story, a fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer. And I wanted to share a fun Halloween tutorial with you!
Stitch a wickedly easy quilted witch’s hat to wear as a Halloween costume. My pattern comes with templates to make an adult size and a matching child’s hat! This pattern uses templates to achieve the shape. You can also embellish with beautiful 3D fabric flowers to finish the hat.
