Thank you for signing up!

I look forward to doing this Challenge with you.

Event: You’ll learn how to use Sinamay to create a headpiece and then a table placemat for the fabulous sculptural abstract part of the hat – ideal for the racing season.

There will also be a chance to ask questions, discuss the inspiration, and much, much more! The challenge will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings with the Thursday evening being used for a catch up session.

Start Date: Tuesday 22nd February 7.30pm BST

Millinery Skill Level: Suitable for all levels

What you will need:

• 1 metre of Sinamay

• Plate disk block (if you don’t have one you can use a saucer or side plate, don’t worry I will show you how to block with them)

• Elastic band or string

• Feather quills from a millinery supplier – and any other feathers you might want to use

• 1 x fake flower (or one that you’ve previously made)

• Any other trimmings you might want such as ribbons, beads, or netting

• Clingfilm

• Sellotape

• Thread, needle and pins

• Wire cutters

• Tape measure

• 1 metre of millinery elastic from a millinery supplier

• Placemat or straw disk (you can get these from interior shops, Homesense, Zara Home, Amazon, and charity shops)

• 1 metre of millinery elastic from a millinery supplier

• ½ metre of millinery wire (if you don’t have this, a cheaper alternative is galvanised steel wire 1.2/1.5mm wide, which you can get from most garden centres or DIY stores)
