Brief description
Sinamay is a fantastic fabric to work with, and very attractive indeed. It is light and airy and comes in a huge range of colours. Amazingly, you need only ½ a yard (1/2 metre) to create this versatile base with ‘tails’ which can be looped into curls of any size. Use two colours if you wish, then add feathers and you’ll have a fascinator hat to be seen in at the smartest places!

feathered creations

Cut, press, add wire and stitch, and the base is ready for you to play with! Design a wild piece or something classy and elegant – both are equally possible.

feathered creations

Create a two-coloured froth of loops and curls like Nicola….

..or even a little hat shape adorned with buttons, like this one made by Ann and modelled by Christine. What fun you are going to have!
