Melbourne Arts Festival Trail

Posted by hatmaker 
· Monday, September 23rd, 2013 

Thought I’d do a quick message as I haven’t blogged much recently….just been busy making hats!
Melbourne Derbyshire opened its door recently quite literally for the Arts Festival Trail where artist local and further afield use residents homes as a base to show and sell their work…ranging from paintings, ceramics, textiles, photography, printing, design and craft items plus many more. Over the weekend we saw many thousands of people come to Melbourne to enjoy the trail, the art, the food and the Music.

I had my hats on display as I live in Melbourne this was a joy. They were well received as always and it was good to talk to people about hats and to dispel any myths about having a hat made being to expensive or exclusive.

Here is a picture of some of my hats on display with my cat on the corner of the table…she is not a hat.

Think trilby

Although the sun is still out, the shops start to think of autumn and the cooler weather. This hat is a lovely trilby shape and is trimmed with a fine leather band, leather buttons and the striking lady amhurst feathers. This is a great look for the autumn wardrobe. Felt hats start at £60.

Delicate tones create lovely hats.

I have taken a picture of a hat from a pinterest page of mine. It is a hat I made a few years ago but seeing it reminded me of the lovely colour tones of soft pink, natural colours and a hint of pewter grey.

I love the soft tones you can get with millinery materials, lovely natural tones every season. Yes I love a bold hat and bright colours but equally like on these hats, it is great to twist, fold and make shapes with sinamay.
