This month’s prize winner will receive a signed copy of Jane Fryer’s new book Keep It Under Your Hat: A Little Book of Linings.

Keep It Under Your Hat is an inspiring journey into millinery’s best-kept secret: the art of hat linings. Written by QEST Scholar and internationally acclaimed milliner Jane Fryers, this book celebrates handmade hats, hidden craftsmanship, and creative self-expression.

A hat lining might seem like an afterthought, but for Jane, it’s a hidden gem to surprise and delight the wearer. In this practical yet playful guide, she shares everything about selecting, crafting, and fitting linings inside hats.

This book is more than techniques; it’s a warm, down-to-earth conversation about the joys of millinery. Whether you’re a beginner, an advanced milliner, or simply curious about transforming vintage scarves into something magical, you’re in the right place.
