A bespoke or custom-made hat, designed with a particular event in mind, is something many people long for but often feel is price prohibitive.

With clear and comprehensive step-by-step instructions and photography, Sarah Lomax and Rachel Skinner, show readers how to make 12 very different hats for a variety of occasions, including a wool felt trilby, a chic pillbox, a fascinator and a feathered headband.
The material and equipment that are required are fully detailed, along with all the necessary techniques, enabling the reader to adapt the designs if they wish, or to create their own unique hats. Full of inspirational and instructional photography, Couture Millinery truly showcases this wonderful craft and provides all the know-how in order to achieve high-end, couture results at home.

If ever there was a book..
that makes me want to learn a new art and get it perfect it is this one.
I have always loved a sexy hat and Millinery is filled to the brim (excuse the pun) with 12 stunning styles that are not only beautiful but unique and cover all occasions.
Hairbands, Caps and Fascinators for Brides, Evening and just because are catered for and Lomax and Skinner showcase their craft and their skill with the most perfect photography.
This is a craft book with a difference, techniques are expertly demonstrated and under the tutorship of these two ladies I can see no reason why I cannot create something wonderful.
There are not many templates or pattern pieces, so it is important to follow each specification and size to get it right, but the methods and diagrams are complete and easy to follow.
The finished results are exquisite, with feathers and lace and other rich trimmings the hats are to die for.
Simply stunning.

I never knew so much equipment is required to make a single hat.
I learned things that will not only teach me hat-making but can help me with other projects.
I liked the step-by-step illustrations and instructions.
I liked learning how to make beautiful and unusual sinomays a/k/a fascinators.
