- HATalk Issue 73: 1 Hat Becomes 3 Fascinators
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
