Cloche Hat Making Workshop A few weeks ago a friends of mine, Pasquale Viara filmed Julie Forrester making a cloche hat in one of my hat making workshops. We filmed various stages of the cloche being made. After a lots of work the cloche was completed. The video is now available on our Youtube channel. Our link is  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cve3d20i8kk For all details about hat making workshops and courses please look at our website; www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

Cloche Making Workshop This was a very enjoyable workshop. Sue spent the day with me working very hard making her cloche.  Before the workshop Sue had decided what her decoration should be. Her choice of making a fleur de lis design was quite challenging, the end result was beautiful. Both of us were delighted with the outcome.   For more information about our workshop please look at our website; www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

Cloche Hat Workshop Video for Youtube Last Saturday we filmed a cloche hat making workshop. We worked throughout the day designing and making the hat entirely by hand. Julie, our student, make the cloche for her mother's Christmas present. After measuring her mother's head Julie was able to make a cloche to fit. Once the video has been edited by our photographer, Pasquale Vaira, it will be placed on youtube and our website .

Alternative Styles of Hats When hats make you smile and laugh. Say wow or 'I wish I had somewhere to wear that hat'. As a milliner I know I have succeeded in designing and making a hat which makes others smile. This is one of those. It was great when someone on Saturday said I saw that hat at Royal Ascot, I love that hat! This hat is very unusual and reminds people of sweets they ate as children...... and many still do as adults. A sweet anyone?

My Dream Is to sell hats in America! We already have many hats in the US but our dream is to sell lots more of our designs from the 'Downton Abbey' style cloche great for the fall and winter, to our large 'Audrey Hepburn' style hats perfect for turning heads. But how can we succeed? With so many views on our blog and and website coming from the US somehow we must enter the American market. Any ideas? www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk email:adrienne@ahmillinery.com

We thought we would design a small collection             of hats which would bring a smile or two.                                                            These sweets are very easy to make from felt                                 and the colours are perfect. We thought these shapes would be interesting. Anyone want a sweet? www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk

Elegant Blue & White Hat White fabric edged with blue and the reverse, blue edged with white, is elegant and simple. We thoroughly enjoy designing hats and using colours which help make a statement. Having been asked to create an 'alternative'  collection we will be designing hats and headpieces which are so different from our usual style. Watch this space! www.adriennehenrymillinery.co.uk
