Well, it has been a while....
Have been really busy making lots of hats for our millinery module at CCAD in Hartlepool, and also been back to the war years, constructing a lady's Utility jacket for the tailoring module. I am now officially addicted to making hats!
Thought you might like to see what I've been doing....

my favourite - Downton Abbey edwardian hat - a lot of work but worth it!
