Brief description
The modern hat making fabric, sinamay, made from plant fibres and available in a rainbow of colours, is wonderfully versatile when it comes to finishing hats.  This ebook, with it’s easy to follow instructions and lavish illustrations will teach you how to make four different beautiful finishing touches from this lovely fabric to adorn existing hats, or those you have made yourself. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to make a lily, for example, and will quickly see how fantastic three or more would look on your hat! There are so many ways lilies can be used. Consider too that they could equally well be made into beautiful headpieces or fascinators! Go on to learn how bias strips of sinamay can be manipulated to create flowers, or why not loop some around your lilies? You will quickly see how adaptable these techniques are, and how creatively you can use them!

Every step is illustrated, with simple, easy to follow instructions alongside. You’ll feel that the tutor is there with you!

Use a single lily to create a beautiful headpiece, like Clara has.

Or combine two techniques and insert some narrow bias strips into lilies, like Barbara. Your imagination will lead you on to create wonderful designs of your own, using the basics we provide.
