I Love Hats Because?: They make my outfit 100% better and I feel the same when wearing them. I love fashion and hats just top them off beautifully.

About Me: I am a qualified Accountant but would love to do millinery full time - i plan on opening my own business soon - selling millinery supplies and alot of pre- made hat blocks so everyone now can make their own hat piece to fit their outfit.

Have you looked into Commercial Liability insurance for your studio so you can teach. I know of a woman who was a home dressmaker & when customer slipped she lost her house when it went to court - she had liability insurance for home but not commercial insurance.
I understand the challenge of marketing to stores but I have had great opportunities over the years & they have worked well. Best Wishes, Elaine
