Hi. I am Jacqui Osborne
I am one of the J.O.’s of JoJo Hats. The other is my husband John Osborne. I’ve been making hats for 30 years now but I first began creating with a sewing machine when I was a child myself. My mother taught herself to sew, and I learnt at her knee – and my paternal grandmother was a seamstress at Liberty’s of London, before the war, so I think creating with fabric must be genetic. I can’t help it!
I have always loved making hats – they’re almost sculpture rather than just clothing – and there are so many possible variations of designs and textiles. JoJo Hats has a home in Tavistock Pannier Market, as well as my online shop. The creative aspect of actually making hats was what I always loved.
