Description

I wanted an old Hollywood glamour style fascinator so I had a 100% wool fabric I wanted to use cut from a vintage hat. I looked at the fascinator in HATalk from the fascinator workshop and liked the detail with the curly accent.

Hat Making Materials

  • I used 100% wool from a yellow vintage hat.
  • I cut the fabric in the shape of a fascinator with a v shape.
  • I trimmed the hat with black fabric.
  • I used black netting for the veil. I used a brooch for the accent piece.

Hat Making Techniques

  • 100% wool fabric from a vintage hat cut into a v- shape
  • black trim for edging
  • Black netting sewn on by sewing machine
  • Brooch added on
  • Strips of the wool fabric cut into pieces and twisted for accent
