Project Overview

This quick and simple headpiece is a great millinery project for beginners.

To make this Sinamay Triangles Fascinator, a pair of fused sinamay shapes are sewn together, bound and attached to a hairband. The upswept fascinator is then trimmed with a flower and arrowhead coque feathers.

Once you master the Sinamay Triangles Fascinator, you can easily adapt this design and use different shapes to make your own unique headpieces.

This tutorial was written by HATalk Founder Ann Morse-Brown and was originally published in her book, Make Fascinators.
