• They'll also learn ways of working sustainably.
• More than 200 photographs, sketches, and clear guidance from Sophie Beale combine to offer over 20 activities, with instructions for 11 complete headpieces and hats, including straw hats, boaters, felt hats, veils, and more.

The projects are carefully planned to make them easy to digest, each focusing on different, interchangeable materials and methods. Includes helpful indicators for skill level, a glossary and suppliers list.
