• Fosshape® Hat Base Project by Amy Fowler

Spiritually connected to wisdom, the energy of beauty in the "eyes" of the majestic peacock tail sees brilliance in all.

Fosshape is a pliable and heat-resistant thermoplastic material that provides unlimited creation of new forms and objects. As such, the creation of this piece utilising this fabric has allowed my imagination to soar above & beyond.

• Wire for base.
• Blocking & dress pins.
• Royal blue stretch fabric and tulle to cover fosshape with cotton peacock.patterned fabric covering sides.
• Inside covered as above minus tulle.
