Brief description
We know people who feel guilty about buying a new hat because they already have a closet full of hats which they don’t wear any more. Perhaps the hats, though beautiful once, are outdated, or they’ve been worn too often or they just don’t appeal any more. If this sounds like your predicament, then this ebook has the answer! Don’t throw those hats away, learn how to update them or change their look entirely and create a stunning hat at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

You’ll learn five techniques which can be used singly or together to enhance hats as we’ve described, or to add superb finishing touches to your new hats. You’ll find these simple techniques can be used over and over again with different fabrics, colours and combinations, thus hugely increasing your repertoire.

Take two old hats and remove all their trimmings.

 

 

Start with the black hat: create a band from a piece of silk...

 

 

...and wear your ‘new’ hat with pride. No-one would suspect that it had had a previous life! The book also describes other ways to change the look of this hat – and two ways to finish the pink hat.
