Hi kim,<br />

That gorgeous headpiece is Phillip Tracey 's? I have had a discussion with other milliner S and been told that he uses Lycra to get this affect.

<p>Kim, I think fabric used is a 2 way stretch fabric but I can not notice a seam When you stretch it over wire very tightly it gives this swirl. I know PhillipT does work like this & have always considered he has no seam.</p>
<p>The fabric used is like a stocking & a tube of fabric which is dyed in suitable colours. I have searched for such in medical field & industrial supplies as nothing in fabric suppliers but all to no avail. Greer has made sure she has cut silk on true bias as…</p>

Try it with seam but cutting on thread line as no need on stretch to use bias & ensure width very acurate Plus use jersy/blue needle for machining stretch fabric. </p> Fabulous creation and brillia…tag:hatacademy.com,2013-10-18:6485913:Comment:789262013-10-18T20:26:50.605ZJain Kidsleyhttps://hatacademy.com/profile/JainKidsley

<p>Not sure if this helps but - if the loops don't need to be solid, you can make great ones by sewing tubes of fabric cut on the bias, and threading these with fine, stainless steel wire. </p>
<p>This wire doesn't kink, so will always make a perfect circle when bent. If you make the tube about 1/2 inch wide, one strand of wire will automatically hold the fabric in a shape similar to that in your picture. It won't be solid though - but will look solid. Hope this makes sense!! </p>

<p>I've made the loops on the attached hat using this method - although the tubes were only 1/4 inch wide.</p>
