Class Description

Description

Spring forward with your own original-designed fascinator. Bigger than a barrette, but smaller than a hat, these British-inspired whimsical adornments have become fashion right for celebratory events in the day, or at cocktail hour, no matter the country. 

This studio workshop introduces you to professional techniques from the elements of good design—what makes a statement versus what's just plain silly—to cutting a pattern and constructing a proper buckram mini-pillbox base. Learn hand-sewing techniques used in the finest quality millinery and work with feathers, flowers, beads, and veiling to embellish your creation to be worn on the front, side, or back of your head. 

No experience necessary. Skills imparted can be used for future commercial or personal projects.

Are materials provided and included in cost of the class? No. 

Materials you will need to bring on the first day of the class:
  • pad
  • pencil
  • needle
  • white thread
  • pair of scissors
  • tape measure. 
Basic materials provided. Additional expense for fabric and trim of your choosing discussed at first session. Complete kits will be available for purchase in class for $20.

Important things to note:
  • Class limited to 16.

  • Hats: Design and Make Your Own Fascinator

    This class was great for getting started in Millinery, it would have been better if it was for 3 days as we didn't get to finish our hats in the 2 lessons. Our teacher was knowledgable and was helpful with our designs. I would probably enrol to study this further next year.
  • Hats: Design and Make Your Own Fascinator

    It's my second course in millinery and I can't get enough. Nora Navarro was wonderful.

    Loved it. The professor was a professional, animated, organized and sincerely happy to be teaching her craft. Also loved that I was taking the class at FIT campus. Want to take another class that teaches how to make a brimed hat. Hopefully they will add another one this summer. Can't wait! Thanks Coursehourse!
