millinery

I'm currently doing a work placement up in London with a milliner for my Uni course, and I finished my first peice today. She's called udy Bentinck and she's made some beautiful hats and is also and lovely lady and a great teacher. It's made as a try out for a shop order, and I'm on to making one in navy with a velvet base.

The base was made from sinamay and it's all hand sewn. The loops are from black crin and some beautiful feathers pulled from the many she has about her studio.
