Project Overview
Hate to throw things away? If you have scraps of sinamay leftover from other projects, you could use them to make this quick fascinator.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to turn your offcuts into bias strips and triangles. In just a few steps, these can then be turned into a simple sinamay fascinator.
By adding a few stripped coque feathers, you can give your creation some extra pizazz. Once your finished sinamay fascinator is attached to a clip or a hat base, it’s ready to wear. And if you alter the shapes, add different feathers or experiment with material colours, you can make all kinds of creative variations on this simple headpiece.
This sinamay fascinator project is perfect for millinery beginners. It’s also a great way to tidy up all of those sinamay scraps laying around your workroom.
This tutorial was written by HATalk Founder Ann Morse-Brown and was originally published in her book, Make Fascinators.
