Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?: I'm a volunteer for our local theatre here in Bunbury. I am the Hairdresser (my trade) hat and headpiece maker. and I would like to learn to make hats professionally. and get the right tools for making hats I don't know where to start to become more professional at the craft.

About Me: I'm 72 and now a widow. I nursed my husband full time for many, many years and as it was a 24 hour job didn't have much time to enjoy my hobbies which are sewing making many crafty things like cushions, table cloths and help with the sewing of the costumes for our shows. Since my husband passed away I found I I'm able to get back to the theatre voluntary which I love being creative with hair and head wear, but I'm not professionally enough I don't have the tools required to make head wear. I have in my time done many hobbies like egg craft, knitting, embroidery both hand and machine, cake decorating plus any other craft that's happening close to where I live. I also love gardening. and my family, we do a lot together. even more since the passing of my husband. I can be contacted by email only as where I live has limited coverage
