Spring Hats And Weddings Galore

Well we are all enjoying this unexpected early spring sunshine.
It's a real bonus for all those early spring weddings not just for the light but not having to wrap up so much and cover all your glorious outfit.
Next week I will be dressing my wedding windows with a variety of wedding wears.
Once again I have some wonderful wedding suppliers to help me complete the look with flowers jewellery photography stationery and of course cake.
I will be taking photographs as it comes together and posting them next week.
I have borrowed a little bureau for one window and it looks very at home in the shop.
I'm busy blocking other hat's like the ivory beret that I then sprayed a soft gold and the teal and grey straw which I stitched together before I blocked it.
It's also time to fill the shop with lots of silk clutch bags that can be made in any shape and shade.

Trilbies Twists And Millinery Classes

Happy February well we've made in through January and there's a lot more light around which feels better and helps you function better don't you think ?

I'm back at it in the workroom sewing away on various orders and of course getting ready for the wedding season.

I've been using my straw braid for a few trims I like the shapes you can archive with it.

A new hat block arrived in the post yesterday it's a larger button block so I'm itching to block on it as soon as I can possibly tomorrow I will take a few pictures as I use it for next time.

Next week my millinery course begins on Thurs evening, I had to change the date for starting and day to accommodate everyone so I'm looking forward to see what the ladies want to make.

One of them is going to a wedding so that will be tailored to her outfit and wedding day needs.

They will be fairly simple things but achievable within the 5 weeks course time. [with a little help from me]

If all goes well I will run another one starting in March so get in touch if you're a budding milliner.
