I will be adding to this blog, and I also invite you to do the same. I'm looking for high profile sites offering useful information, as well as sites that have great information but would not necessarily show up in a Web search.

Lee, first of all, I love the hat. It does sound amazing and I suspect it looks even more spectacular in person. Secondly, thank you so very much for the names of valuable resources in millinery. They are always such a treasure especially here, in the US, where millinery supplies and books are difficult to find.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful words under my Atelier post. I have put so much effort into it and appreciate every compliment!:-)I would absolutely love to have you as my guest any day!:-)I am wishing you wonderful day.:-)
Thank you so much. I really would like to visit, and perhaps after I retire I will do just that. Again, I also appreciate your comments, especially coming from such a wonderful milliner. My desire is to reach those that find it hard to find help. I believe it's creativity that sets us apart, not sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are nice....
Saturday Night Hat by Eugenia Kim is a great read; very easy hat-making projects

ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it takes years for us here in the States to catch up with the rest of the world when it come to new millinery materials. I've never worked with it, but I can direct you to the person selling this product--http://www.torbandreiner.com/online-shop-1/paris-clothes. You can also view this video on my site--http://www.torbandreiner.com/online-shop-1/paris-clothes--to get an idea how it is manipulated.
I want to teach making fascinators. It is useful. We run one stop millinery material. We would like to hear from all of you.

Millinery materials is pretty important for my business. I make bespoke fascnators/hats for my clients. They only place low qty to me. Now I can get low MOQ from your website. Amazing!
