Amy Mozingo



Fabric artist Amy has made lovely hats using 1/2 inch strips of silk chiffon with a wire brim. Her hats are wonderfully versatile and machine washable!

They keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer and because silk sheds water very well can actually serve as a mini umbrella in a light rain! If you wet the crown in hot temps it acts like an air conditioner altho your hair may look a little funky!




You can bend the brim into a variety of shapes - from a cowboy hat to a wavy brimmed flower child!

"In all that I do, I add to the beauty that surrounds and sustains us." Amy explains about her fun creations!
