I think I have come to the conclusion a model to show of the head piece is best?At my early stage in y millinery journey I am currently using a polystyrene swan neck, and it looks ok, for now. But depending on costs I think I'm going to use a model. My friend has two lovely daughters who…See More

Listen while you sew!!

What do people listen to while they sew? Do you even listen to anything? Me, if I'm sewing petersham trim or headband I like a good drama on podcast, or (if in UK) The Archers. Where I can get engrossed while doing a 'not have to think too much' about the sewing. And it's a good bit of Jazz for anything else in my studio!!See More
