millinery course, day two

Last night I pre-made the flowers for my hat.

Look Mum, I sewed!

I made this from a flat bit of straw!

These are all the steps I took.

Now for the fun bit...

I start pinning on my design.

The whole design, pinned on.

On a foam head.

From the side.

Now I have to hand-sew it all on.

Tah-dah! The finished product.

From the side.

And the front.

Then I packed up my little sewing box, and went home.
