Designing a Custom Hat

The process of designing a custom hat with Sally Faith Steinmann of MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® is a special one. And since every hat is individually handcrafted, the end result will always be a hat that is truly unique, a one-of-a-kind millinery creation!

Perhaps you have a family wedding to attend, or the Kentucky Derby, a bat mitzvah or a holiday party.

For these unforgettable life experiences you need something more than a cookie cutter hat. You will need just the right hat to make it memorable ~ one that will express your own personal sense of style.

And Sally will walk you through the process of designing your hat, custom made, step by step!

If you know the hat style you would like and are trying to match the hat to an existing outfit or a particular color scheme, Sally will ask for swatches to ensure a good match.

Swatches needed for a custom hat design

From these fabric “clues” and basic style ideas, Sally will then sketch a design tailored to your needs and email that along to you.

At this point a phone conversation is often the most efficient way to finalize the design. Trim details need to be verified, a price set for your custom design and the shipping address determined.

Once payment is received, Sally gets the creative process underway!

As soon as your one-of-a-kind hat is completed, Sally will contact you before the hat is shipped to confirm the address.
