I made things!

I took a millinery class at the community college this semester, and I finally took some pictures of my finished product! It's a blocked buckram crown and drafted brim, covered with gray wool and trimmed with black grosgrain:

It's lined in blue silk taffeta:

I also made little ornaments for all the members of last year's Bring It On: Rock the Mouse Masquerade group. (This is somewhat of a tradition for our group-- we have some adorable ornaments from entries past from Corli.) They're shaped like the Mickey Mouse logo, with pom-poms as the ears. One side has our group logo, the other side has a picture of the castmember it belonged to. This is about half of them-- the rest had already been given to their recipients. (Hey, Victoria! Send me your address and I can send you yours!)

Oh, wow. That's fantastic! I've started the de-mystification of millinery in the last couple of weeks. I used to think the process was:
1. Assemble materials
2. Say incantation
3. Hat!
But now I have a bit more of an idea as to what happens in step 2. I went down to Spotlight and got 20cm of Buckram and now I'm going to play.

I really love yours. It's simple, which means you can't hide any construction problems with trim, so I'm very impressed ;-)
