Synopsis

A felt hat can shift from an everyday winter staple to a statement accessory, and this guide shows how to build one from the ground up. Bobbi Heath begins with core preparation, including measuring your head, stiffening felt, using steam to mould the fabric, and blocking, before moving on to stitching and edging techniques.

Six projects cover a range of classic silhouettes: a floppy hat, cloche, bucket, pill box, cap and button, with scope to personalise each design through trimmings. The book includes a foreword by Dillion Wallwork, a London hat designer and milliner of over 30 years, and is positioned as an accessible introduction for hat lovers and those new to millinery.
