the cat that got the cream

Jane in her showroom

With a background in social care Jane has always been inspired by the therapeutic effect of arts and crafts. Her Nana Kitty, a smart and dignified lady who suffered for many years from Altzeimers, always used to say that 'the hat was the main part of the outfit' and this inspired Jane to start Kitty Couture Hats . An elegant hat can be a real confidence booster for a special occasion, and Jane has the answer for all budgets and inclinations. At her beautiful house in Todmorden she has a lovely showroom where you can buy or hire a stunning hat. And for hands-on types she's designed a range of lovely DIY kits that she'll be introducing at the Meet the Makers Market .

You'll be able to choose from four different pill box shapes that you can customise, or for beginners there will be felt flower brooch making.  So we're taking our hats off to Jane and inviting you to come along and meet her at the Meet the Makers Market on October 5th at Hebden Bridge Town Hall !
