Hat Maker Sticks to Her Stitch

Terry Graziano is a hat designer whose work was featured in this week's issue of Time Out New York's Holiday Shopping Guide. Why should this matter to you? Because her determination, dedication and passion can be inspiration for you to go after your dreams.

It's not easy running your own business and the work never ends. but it's worth it says most entrepreneurs. When you run your own business you get to run it the way you want to and not how someone else thinks you should. With that, of course, means that you have all the responsibility but you get all the the rewards.

With years of toil, Ms. Graziano is happy to know that more people may get to see her hats and why they are unique. As she describes it, "My hats are versatile as well as eco-friendly, I use only designer mill-end surplus fabrics in luxurious textures and colors while personally handcrafting each hat with great care and attention to detail. Each hat is fully lined for comfort and durability, and they are adjustable for head size and shape to create an ideal fit. For me, it’s all about flexibility. A shirt, a skirt, a pair of pants: these can be worn many ways – why should hats be any different?"

So take your lead from this incredible designer and go after your dreams one stitch at a time.
