The Saucy Milliner

There is something a little bit romantic and sumptuous about Winter felts and the Season of Fall/Autumn.  Summer gives us a chance to wear our favourite colourful happy bright straws, but then let us take our focus to the cooler months and we have to add a bit of 'Sauce', and then we have, the saucy milliner.  Yum,  I am totally in love with all of her magnificent work and in some of the shots you can see the attention to detail on the brim of the hand stitching.  Her cat seems somewhat involved in the hatmaking as well which I think is fabulous. x

Phillip Rhodes

Ahh, there is something very humbling when making Easter Bonnet for my daughter and learning millinery so I can better understand and constructively talk about the subject, I am quickly humbled from my Easter Bonnet mayhem taking day to see the work of Phillip Rhodes.
Phillip Rodes hats are almost painstakingly perfect, in thinking, how long and tedious each stitch has been.  In fact one of the stand out hats in last years Melbourne Cup Millinery Award for 2012 was Phillip's of which I have just learnt.  It was beyond magnificent.
As I toy with felt and sewing like an infant, I am learning, but the word 'Milliner' should never be used loosely, there is something between a Master Hatmaker and a Hat Decorator.
Clearly Phillip Rhodes, you are simply a master of your craft.  A x
