6 hours and several tooth aches later, I finished my facinator. I found the yellow in my fabric collection today and I'm currently having to do a project on the work placement I did with a milliner last month. My theme is birds, hence the little nests. I've got a huge feather order coming in soon so I can hopefully get some more made that are a bit more..birdy. lol I was really  winging it here, I had a vague plan of what I wanted to do but just messed about to see what I could come up with.

For the middle I was planning on something completely different and took me several tries to find something I wanted.

I made the base and covered it and then started messing about with the frills and beading. I bought the bead for my last project and I never used them but they're so nice I just needed to find a place for them.

And everything was hand sewn. I prefer hand sewing, got to use all the skills I was taught and it gives a much neater look.  













I would of modelled it, but my hair is a complete mess and also it's pink...and just slightly clashes with this yellow
