Well done Elaine Mergard; your videos have been great company and I really appreciated the courses as I moved through each lesson and challenged my self in the past 10 mths to make 100 head pieces.[I still work full time in my other business until I sell it - I look forward to doing more creations.]  I achieved and sold 47 of them. From wedding  veils - headpieces, fascinators, full hats,  turbans, berets and cloches.  Now I have a bag full of bits and pieces of cut offs. This month I am going to piece together a lot of them to make some patch work head wear. And Yes! I did make a few 'frisbees'  or have a box of not quite finished pieces - waiting to get inspired to make something outstanding from them.   Feeling pretty chuffed considering I was a milliner-florist in 1969-1979 and had not sewn anything for the past 20 years but picked it up all  again and learnt a lot more with so many new materials to use. Thank you.

I have found Hat Academy and Elaine to be invaluable. The lessons are so amazingly clear it is like being in a classroom. Elaine provides excellent support as well. She is such a wonderful person and really cares about helping you become a better milliner. Her responses are quick, detailed, personalized and she makes sure that you understand. The discussion groups are also filled with lots of wonderful information. This is a must have community for any new milliner who wants to get better at their craft.
