Thank you for your video!! I've used synthetic felt for several of my pieces and blocked them pretty nicely. Also, I've added stiffner. I am however, looking to purchase some wool felt cones, and starting practicing, my challenge is working with shellac stiffner.
I just bought my first sinamay! I live in the USA but the only place I could find it is the UK. I am looking forward to making hats and facinators using your tutorials. I would love to bring that accessory back to everyday wear in the USA.
Such a great video! I prefer to work with natural fibers for millinery - my reasons for this are firstly the biodegradable aspect of such materials, and secondly their mouldable and dyable properties are indespencible to millinery. I didn't realise you could even get synthetic versions of buckram!
Thanks Ilona, I am not sure that people realise the huge difference and as you rightly say, the consequences of using plastics . I hope you are well xxx
