I loved the dimension of the feathers incorporated in the layers of the Sinamay. However, I did feel that I would not have been happy with the movement of the Percher, it looked a bit precarious, but saying that I did enjoy the techniques applied. Can you let me know what 'stiffener' you use please. Well done again.
Good morning! Thank you for your comment - im glad you liked the video. I agree - if I was to do this again, I would probably use change the size of the percher so it has less movement. I used a millinery stiffener - www.parkinfabrics.co.uk/millinery/accessories/stiffener/millinery-stiffener-1ltr-concentrate.html - and I dilute it 1 part stiffener to 4 parts water which is perfect for sinamay - the same company sells felt and straw stiffener too
I found this a little confusing, maybe I need to watch a few times lol. What was the benefit of the feathers inside the sinamay bases? just trying to learn. Linda
Stalk as much as you want! Especially on Instagram as you get to see thee behind the scenes on InstaStories (which is usually me with a glass of prosecco!)
Thank you John I was struggling to get the dimple on the back but your tip of reblocking the base back to front was fantastic, I am using the button block you sent me and it looks fab😁💕👍👏
Loved this. Very informative and I loved the pattern of the feathers between the sinamay. Lovely percher. Thank you so much. x
I love your channel!
Love your tutorials. Can you do a tutorial to show how to make Sinamay hats that use different colors that look like many patches put together? Thanks
I like this idea a lot!

Hi
The feathers were sandwiched between the sinamay to give a pattern to the sinamay - you could always omit this step though!
Thank you, just subcribing to all your social media lol, stalking :)
