Making Hats

This book explains how to make your own hats, using traditional construction methods with both specialist millinery foundation materials and a range of fabrics and trimmings. It introduces the wide range of styles and shapes that modern millinery has embraced. Readers will learn the anatomy of the hat and how to fit a hat, from small, fun, and fast headpieces to special occasion hats. This guide also showcases 26 hats and headpieces, each with step-by-step photographs and instructions, some using ready-made elements, others that are made from scratch.
