How to Make A Homemade Fascinator Hat
By: Kathleen Lisson
I love handmade millinery. For the crafty ladies among us, here is a video by milliner Janie Lawson on how to make a fascinator hat.
I liked watching this video because I learned how much time and creativity goes into making a hat - giving me more respect for my favorite milliners!
Lawson shows all the different aspects of creating a hat, including the part where she sews a comb on the back. This is a great tip for repairing a hat with a loose comb.
My favorite part of the video was where Lawson attaches the veiling. I have a few vintage hats that aren't my style but do have beautiful veiling. I am now considering whether to repurpose the vintage veiling and add it to one of my fascinators to make a seductive veiled cocktail hat!

Want to feel inspired to wear hats?
Thanks for sharing this video! I don't own a single hat but I love looking at them and trying them on for fun.

Jess, That's great!
DeleteShe makes it look so easy - dare I say effortless, though of course it's not and that is always the mark of a very skilled person. I've never ventured into hat or fascinators making territory, but the idea is certainly appealing and who knows, perhaps one day I will (bookmarking this video for future reference for that very reason).

I like to see things taken a part and put back together. It gives me a better understanding of the item, instead of just thinking that it comes together by 'magic.' Also, if I ever want to change the drape of the veiling or add a flower/feather, I know how to approach the project!
DeleteSO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN A MONTH!

This is so cute! I've always wanted to go to a party where I could wear a fascinator. Maybe I'll just have to throw one!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend has been thinking about wearing a birdcage veil for her wedding but haven't been able to find one that she 100% loves. Maybe she should just make one! :)
