| Vintage hat replicas by Lynn McMasters |
This was an excellent class, and while I think anyone
with a little sewing know-how would be able to participate, the projects were definitely complex and
challenging. Lynn has so much knowledge
and advice, and really shared her expertise in a variety of topics. I learned a tremendous amount and I
appreciate being challenged in a class to learn something new. I didn’t get a ‘perfect’ result on the class
projects, but definitely learned the techniques well enough to practice on my
own and improve.
We did not have time for all of the projects, but Lynn
did walk through several more projects to try at home. As with all of the millinery classes I have
taken, I wished it was longer. The time
allowed was about right for the 4 projects we did, but it would have been nice
to finish the other two as well. We also
did not have time to add the feathers to a hat or fascinator, but Lynn did
discuss how to do that.

Extra bonus: the shop at Lacis is wonderful! They have a massive selection of books and
historic patterns, some hat making supplies, flower making tools and stamens,
fabrics, and obscure notions for all sorts of textile artists. I always spend too much, but I have found
some wonderful supplies and tools there.
In the
works:

Jose Renaissance Faire in August. Keep
