- they complete an ensemble. They can be practical and a work of art.
- About Me
- I completed a Fashion Studies Certificate way back in 1984 and during the course made a cream fedora trimmed with black grosgrain. I loved it and wore it often. I hadn't made anything else until two years ago when I left full-time employment and dreamt of developing a business making veils, bridal headpieces and fascinators even though I had only a little bit of millinery experience all those years ago. I have always enjoyed sewing, knitting, crochet, screenprinting, quilting, applique, dabbling in whatever creative art I would like to try, even though I wouldn't say I am terribly artistic. So I am learning as I go but am pleased to say that in the last two years I have helped a few brides achieve the look they desired for their special day. I have also made a few raceday fascinators but plan to learn much more about hat making in the future.

In 1984 was your Millinery teacher Elizabeth Reynolds as I was teaching in TAFE in 80s in that period. You will be surprised how much you do recall. It is such a Creative Art. I am here to help and answer questions.
