Nappa Leather Cocktail Hat

 

 

Last week a lovely lady called Helen came to join in all the sewing activity in the workroom. She was keen to make something with a vintage feel and so I set her to work with some lovely nappa leather, veiling, freshwater pearls and silk.
Although a little challenging at times, she soon got the hang of some millinery trickery and here is the finished piece. Great job don't you think.? Next week it will be a different set of ingredients.! Then she will be back to university to finish her BA but intends to visit us again when she has more time.
