This fell to me so i took some documentary pix to share. Here are a few photos showing how i made a mount for the frivolou ...

Millinery Makeover!

2 days ago by Rachel E. Pollock - La Bricoleuse

Nearly two years ago, i made a post about a sinamay straw tricorne. The hat has been on display in the millinery studio area ever since, waiting for the perfect show and character to come along, and for a designer to see it and have an "a-ha!" moment.

Retro Air Hostess Pillbox Hat Tutorial

5 days ago by The Slapdash Sewist

When planning this costume, I knew a pillbox hat would be an essential element. While making the uniform and realizing that there is a fine line between Air Hostess and Diner Waitress, I knew the hat had to make up the difference so I wanted to do a fabulous job.
