Book Description
Less information than the bodice and corset workbooks, for those who are familiar with the author. This book focuses on turn-of-the-century women’s hat shapes: wide brim and shaped sweetheart brim. Author lists fabric/notion requirements and provides numerous b/w illustrations to walk you through basic hat-building technique. Geared to very basic hats, which you can put together with a home sewing machine and glue. Maybe even too basic – info hardly fills one side of each page. Trim instructions cover gathered tulle ruffles and bows, fabric roses, big bows, and ostrich plumes. But if you need to build a basic hat and don’t want to take a class or buy a wood block, this is your best option.
