Hat Blocking

I have had an afternoon of blocking, lots of neutral tones in fine straw and sinamay ready to create a couple of orders.

The creamy ivory fine straw with the rippled brim is being made for the shop and I love the way the straw will mould into organic swirls.

However when it comes to stabilising the edge and creating a small silk edge the hand sewing gets rather tricky but with a little patience it's soon whipped into shape.

At the weekend it was great to see a hat of mine on the front cover of The Yorkshire Post, the photo shoot from last month was in their weekend magazine and there was a five page spread.

Very nice thank you very much.!

This coming Monday I have a bridal shoot which I am really looking forward to. Their will be some very talented suppliers involved so as soon as there are a photographs I shall get them on the blog.
