 HAT BLOCKS:
“Remember the wonderful vintage
mini top hat in brown felt that everyone tried
to imitate in Laura Whitlock's mini top hat workshop?
We finally have the block set copied directly from
that hat.
Call us to schedule a time when you can spend
a day blocking with it. We also have a second
mini hatblock set for a driving hat. It was copied
from our vintage driving hat with the bird wing
trim. And a third wonderful block now available
is the bonnet block. The original had been kindly
loaned to us by a former student and hat enthusiast
and we were able to have it copied before returning
the original to him.”
 FEATHER WINGS AND FAN SHAPES:
“We have been
cleaning off the shelves and found a few unusual
feathers which have been listed on the website
now. I do not promise to continue carrying them
once these are gone and encourage you to order
any that take your fancy while they are still in
stock. This is one of the shapes. Visit the
Close Outs Section on the website for other feathers,
ribbons and deals.”
 BASSWOOD HEADBLOCK
“We are thrilled to
have found a maker for our traditional basswood headblocks.
The previous chap retired and it has been a seven
month search to locate a craftsman of similar quality
and price. We hope to have all sizes back
in stock by September. We do have on the shelf
one each in head-sizes of 23½ inch, 25½ inch
and 26 inch at the old price of $90.”
HAT MAKING TUTORIALS ARE AVAILABLE:
"The
3- disk tutorial on hat-making was recently released
and we find it useful to beginners. Even long time
milliners may learn a new trick or two by watching
Ms. Dial's DVDs. You can see instructions on blocking
straw or felt, finishing techniques and trims (such
as the large bow visible on the hat in the photo)
as well as tips for getting started in hat-making.
We also carry a "Straw Hatmaking" by Diana Cavagnaro in VHS for blocking,
dying and trimming a straw hat-body. Visit the Books, Videos and Patterns section
on our website for more information. Click on the link shown here to go to the
new DVD.”
