Wow! GREAT book!

I collect millenery books and this is my favorite. It has a terrific selection of hats, simple how-to's, and it takes all the mystery out of hatmaking. The fasinators alone are well worth the price. This author is an amazing cutting-edge hatmaker! The photos are plentiful and beautiful. It offers all kinds of suggestions to create "one of a kind" hats, how to wear them, and just what to wear with them. There are no huge elaborate hats or straw hats in here. Instead, it offers simple and new ideas on re-inventing smaller hat patterns into truly unique and inspiring designer's originals. Materials used are common materials found everywhere. However, the author takes these simple materials and uses them to suggest a miriad of ideas. The author's fresh take on hatmaking is simple, imaginative and just plain fun!

Awesome!!!!

This is a great book. I love hats and would wear them daily if I could. This provides a quick and easy inexpensive way for me to learn how to make hats of my own without having to purchase hat forms and other peices of millinery equipment!

Sushi To Go

This is a great book! It has some great designs and helps to inspire some more creativity. Will definitely be making the sushi hat as it looks great. I have studied Millinery and although some of the construction techniques are a bit more simplified I think that this will help the more inexperienced person "have a go" (people with more experience can easily use more advanced techniques if they want). Fantastic book and well worth the money. This book will help beginners start and give inspiration to the more advanced.

perfect

As a generally crafty person this appealed to me, but the simplicity of terms as well as useful tips sparking many ideas, made this book just perfect. this is great springboard for all sorts of crafts, and i can't wait to sport my new creations. this is actually a great gift for so many people. i love it!!

Hats off to this great crafts book on making your own hats

This is a very wonderful book on hatmaking. Being someone who likes to wear hats on occasion, I like hat books, and this one is one of my favorites. I have a small circumference head, so home-made hats are great for me. Otherwise I have trouble finding a good fitting hat. With these patterns, I have the ability to make a fun hat that fits my head. Author Eugenia Kim has included all kinds of hats I like. Well, there are also some hats I don't like but that is strictly a matter of personal taste. Not all hats suit all heads. But, there is SO MUCH in this book that you are sure to find a hat that pleases you. And costumers will find a rich resource of patterns and ideas in this power-packed volume. I personally loved the cloth big-brimmed sun hat. And I was diverted by the Toast of the Town Hat--a pillbox designed in a white square shape with a dark brown side representing the crust and a square yellow flat button that looks like, yep, a pat of butter. Now, how CUTE is that?! If you prefer jelly to butter, you can, advises Kim, put sequins or tiny beads in a rich grape shimmery color to represent your choice of jam. (or satin for peanut butter, hey, it's up to you.) There is a great big section on newsboy hats, with patterns, on knit hats, and on cloches. Some hats are revised from standard blank hats and some are sewn or knit directly from fabric. For knitters, one can used felted knitting to sew a hat as well. If you scour the thrift stores, you can find mens' tweeds for newsboy hats, or sweaters to wash in hot water to felt. I can't say enough good things about this book--there is SO much, the writing is amusing, and the patterns are useful and varied. This book is bursting with ideas.
