Hi I wonder if you can help… I have bought some netting to attach to a pillbox hat but cant find any online advice or instructions on how to achieve the best affect when attaching it to the rim. Can anyone offer any advice or good sites. Thanks Anna

buckram is probably better for the foundation than sinamay. Semac is a different fabric but similar to buckram but not quite as stiff. The only place I know that you can buy semac is from Mimi millinery in Queensland. Their website is http://www.mimimillinery.com – although I think you need to call to get semac as it was not on the website last time I looked. I will see if I can post some turban instructions in the next few days…

I am about to make a turban to wear with my regency ball. Do you have any turban making instructions to share? I have a crown block. Can I make the base with the crown block and buckram? What is semac? I have some sinamay. Is this semac or something different.

I did Jan’s class at the forum too. I enjoyed it. Just like you, at then of the workshops I was very tired. Please enjoy my little flat felt hat on my blog and see my lovely dress.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Its great to hear the forum went well, with such an array of teachers, there must have been so much to learn. Finding time to apply what you have learned will be the challenge, so look forward to hearing more and seeing some photos.

Great post
