Hi Maggie,

I'm staying busy, and having such fun with sinamay this summer.  I just finished my very first wedding hat, and got such a nice compliment from Reiner Waltraub, and lots of likes from our fellow milliners!!!  I'm finding these fragile sinamays with large brims, to be a nightmare to ship!!! SO expensive!!!

I also taught my first sinamay class last weekend, and we had such fun!!! I need to update my blog with photos soon.   Also, I'm about to restore a very thickly felted hat for a client, but it is SO thick, I wonder if it will reblock?   I think steam may not be enough to make it pliable.  Do you think I should saturate it in boiling water for a bit first?

Your work is spectacular. I love the elegant understated simplicity. Perfection!

hello, i really love your hats! i make hats myself but i am a beginner in courses ;ireally want to stay in contact because i love hats and i feel connected with edinbrough because my sun lives there too, graetings and hope to hear from you soon, chris
