Delightful and Lovely Book to have fun playing with hats
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I agree with other reviewers that this book is not for the serious miliner. However, if you want to dabble a bit, or have a fun hat that you'd like to spruce up - this will do the job for you. As usual with Juliet Bawden books, it's beautifully photographed and designed.
very good book for people that design hats for a hobby!

I have this book and I like it. You can get some nice ideas from it, but if you make hats for a living...it's not for you. It is really for someone who plays at hat making.
Good Basic Hat tips and Ideas

I beg to differ with others comments that this book wasn't as helpful as they would have liked. It gave great examples of what was possible in design. I found it more interesting than the 'from the neck up book' which was too technical. First off, the photography is great. The examples of hats are awesome. I loved the project for the appliqued garland straw brim. Overall,it's a great book to have if you're interested in millinery.
