Burgundy Bow Pill Box – Autumn Winter 2012

Next up is this gorgeous velvet pill box. This hat is a large pill box hat and is worn quite far back on the head.  It is made with a luscious burgundy velvet and a soft pink chiffon band.  I think this is such an elegant style & the placing of the hat was inspired by one of the …

Blue Assymetrical Trilby – Autumn / Winter 2012

I found this gorgeous blue tweed material and knew I wanted to make a trilby with it; but I wanted to do one with an assymetrical brim.  I love how a brim can totally change the style and feel to a hat….. Rather than add a band of ribbon that you get on a tradtional trilby, I decided …

Green Felt Tear Drop Percher – Autumn / Winter 2012

This jade green felt percher was a bit of an experiment if I’m honest….and I’d say it turned out to be a good one! So I had a new block in a tear drop percher shape.  And I had some rope from the DIY store….I put them together…..and blocked this!  I wanted to see how intricate you could get a raised …

Leopard Print Heart – Spring / Summer 2012

There are two colours that are always found in my wardrobe: 1 – leopard print.  2 – red.  So I was very excited to combine the two for this lovely fascinator. This heart fascinator is sewn onto a wide leopard print fur felt band.  It has quite a 20s feel to the overall design and gives a striking finish to any …

Pink Inverted Hat – Spring / Summer 2012

I got the material for this and pondered on what design I wanted to do with it for a while.  Then I had a bit of an Eureka moment.  This was the result. This hat is a large inverted hat made of a pink fish net ramie.  I didn’t want to complicate this hat by adding …

Lilac Floral Disc – Spring / Summer 2012

As usual I started out with an idea in my mind….and it turned out a lot better 🙂 I had wanted to do a lilac assymetrical disc and I wanted a mixture of flowers on both the top side and underside of the hat.  I wasn’t sure how many flowers and if I would do just …

Gold Pearl Heart – Spring / Summer 2012

I do love a bit of gold….and hearts are my favourite shape.  Yep, I’m a softy.  So when I sat with these bronze, gold & cream Swarovski pearls in my hand….I just knew I wanted them to adorn a design in a mass of lusciousness.  And so I did. I made this fascinator out of a lovely …

Cream Bow – Spring / Summer 2012

I made this hat at the end of 2011.  Next thing I know Prince William marries Kate Middleton and everyone at the wedding was wearing central worn fascinators!  I was actually a tad cheesed off….as I did this first!  But alas, I like to think it’s just because I am a trend setter 🙂  anyway….here …

Lace Roses & Pearls – Spring / Summer 2012

So after my Die Hard fascinator I got a bit intrigued and happy by the draped beads and the movement they created.  And so I designed this tear drop fascinator. I love this fascinator.  It’s probably my favourite….well at least in my top 3 so far!  I wanted something that was ultra feminine and had …

Brown Ribboned Fascinator – Spring / Summer 2012

If I told you where I got the inspiration for this fascinator from you may laugh……it was whilst watching Die Hard!  I promise you that!  🙂 I was sat watching Bruce Willis fight the baddies at Christmas at home with the family and I saw all of these explosions and slow motion movement.  To me …
