Millinery



So I've been MIA for a while, having no time to write. Millinery is hat making, yes I've tried it at first in celebration of the wedding and I had a ton of starch left over from other projects. I looked up on a you tube video and got inspired. I started off with thinking of the shape that I wanted, I used a glass candy jar cap for this one, put the fabric on it then starched it and left it to dry. Then attached it to the headband and stitched on by hand the nylon, which I learned quickly is why you need a thimble. So the other one is gray and red with white flowers. I got a fur shug to add to the look. Now, I just need to go to tea with my friends.
