Maker Faire Pioneer Valley 2023

Wrap It Up Handmade

Home: Massachusetts, United States

My hot item is my fabulous reversible Bucket Hat. I use either all cotton or a combination of cotton and upcycled denim to create unique, one of a kind reversible Bucket Hats. With the sun being so strong these days, a Bucket Hat gives you full sun protection. Unlike your typical baseball cap, a Bucket Hat provides protections for, not only your head, but for your ears and back of the neck. Golfers, cyclists, joggers, walkers, beach goers ... love my design and color selections. Each hat is typically a one of a kind original.

I was a career sales rep and starting creating when I moved to MA in 2014. I started off with making jewelry and switched over to sewing my Bucket Hats ... which are beautiful yet practical.

What Inspired You to Make This?

I switched over from jewelry making to sewing because the trend was that folks were buying practical items ... not luxury items such as jewelry.
