This month I got to go to a ~fancy~ garden party event, and made my fascinator to go with my dress! I've spent years collecting fascinators (wooo! sales!) but didn't have one that would go with my outfit >.<
This was only the 3rd fascinator I've made - I used a premade sort of base that you could sculpt in your own way when my original plan fell through, I was really pleased with how it came out! ^.^
(this was put onto a dark brown satin hairband, but the mannequin head was too big to put it on without potentially snapping it, and I only had one so wasn't chancing it lol)
Hoping to make more fascinators soon! ^.^ so if anyone has any favoured help resources - especially those aimed at left handers cos I've learnt from embroidery that some techniques are a nightmare as they need to be approached differently, please share them!
More Bloodborne! Choir set made by me for a friend, I actually have one of my own about half finished that I should really work more on one of these days.
The visor part of the blindfold cap has full visibility, the base structure is a lightweight millinery material called sinamay with millinery wire around the edge, covered in a black lace fabric with a light dusting of metallic paint. The top part of the hat is a normal wool felt capeline.

This is a sculpture by Jewish artist, Jacqueline Nicholls. Entitled ‘Maternal Torah’, the work is made of sinamay, a lightweight fabric often used for making hats.
Jacqueline Nicholls says:
From the sefer torah we have the proportions, the oval top with the two holes, the fringing. From the woman’s corset there are the very feminine shapely curves, the ribbon binding at the back, and the fringing…
Torah is often described in traditional learning circles as a feminine object. The torah is held, kissed, even married to (on Simchat Torah).
The corset seems to be a perfect metaphor for Torah, and halacha (Jewish Law) – it gives shape, support and constraint.
The phrase ‘Torat Imecha’ is from the book of Mishlei (Proverbs) – ‘listen children to your father’s instructions, but do not forget your mother’s torah (torat imecha).’
The headdress worn by HM Queen Letizia during the state visit to the Netherlands is made with almond-colored sinamay and a speckled veil in the same tone.
Tudor era outfit for an event in July is pretty much done now.
I found a partlet that seemed appropriate that I had made a while back, and threw the Sinamay hat I had made at it too. It has cute little deer ribbon on it.
I'm really proud of this and I can't wait to take proper photos of it soon.
