MILLINERY

​

STRAW BONNET

PROJECT FOR MILLINERY, FALL 2017

PROFESSOR: PATRICIA MARTIN

​

This project allowed me to turn a straw capeline into a 19th Century straw bonnet. I pulled the capeline over a form, pressed and wired it, and decorated it. I also wrote a how-to guide that you can find below. 

BUCKRAM SKIMMER

PROJECT FOR MILLINERY, FALL 2017

PROFESSOR: PATRICIA MARTIN

 

This project was to create and decorate a buckram skimmer. I wired the crown and brim by machine, and hand stitched the buckram and fabric. I also wrote a how-to guide that you can find below.

SINAMAY FASCINATOR

PROJECT FOR MILLINERY, FALL 2017

PROFESSOR: PATRICIA MARTIN

 

This project was to create a fascinator using sinamay dyed in class. I pulled the dyed sinamay over a head block and wired it by hand. I formed the sinamay trim by wetting it and twisting it around a rod. I also wrote a how-to guide you can find below.
