Haha now I know why my grandmother, who was a hat maker in the 1900’s , was saving all her soaps bars leftovers 😂… thank you so much for sharing dear Ilona .

Great video! I love your props :) and you look exceptionally elegant today. The outfit is quite flattering.

Hi, That was interesting. I particularly enjoyed how you use rubber bands around your block. I haven't seen those red thingies that you should officially use when blocking but now I have options. Thank you. Yours, Ann

Hi Ann, I like to think there's no such thing as "you should officially use" 😀 once I'd gotten my head around this philosophy, my hat making became much easier.

Hi, I couldn't agree more. Yours, Ann

Thankyou for such an informative presentation. The pin pusher tool looks amazing. What brand is it and where can I get one from?

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello, I'm so glad you enjoyed my video 😊 My pin pusher is not branded, but I bought it on Amazon. So if you just search for "pin pusher" lots of options should come up.

New vocabulary words from the UK: 1. Hatblocking nails are called “pins” 2. “Fiddly” which may have no Amerenglish equivalent 💕
