Finishing my Autumn UFO hats | Vintage Millinery Techniques

[@LipglossAndLove13]

Beautiful!! It was lovely to watch this video, then see these styles in your shop online!! Knowing what goes into a design or item makes it more precious to me

[@vickinoeske1154]

I loved this video where you are finishing various hats. It was so much fun to watch as well as educational. Thank you.😊

[@biduca100]

Beautiful hats and creative names. I loved that Drusilla helps you out :)

Even though hats are not too fashionable in the USA, I would wear the pillbox with the berries. It's quite chic in my opinion.

[@melbabowen4389]

The halo is my very favorite, then the pill box! ❤ Thank you!

I REALLY enjoyed this video. I love to buy hats that have been "fallen out of love" with. I clean them and give them new life. You could start a side business and just sell blank hats and let the buyer decorate it themselves. Thanks again for this video !!!🌼🌼🌼

Hello Dianne! That's so great that you like to upcycle hats - you may enjoy a millinery book "Contemporary Millinery: Hat Design and Construction by Sophie Beale" - it has a great chapter on sustainability projects - I've got a video in the works about this at the moment. Also..... it's so interesting that you mention selling blank hats..... I may be working on something really special to do with that..... so watch this space! 👀

Thank you! Do you have any UFOs?

@@ByIlonaMillinery Oh, yes, It does!!! I love your videos. It’s just that I can’t find the moment. I’ll try harder 😅

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, I have a question. The kind of netting you use to fastening hats with bobby pins. where can I try to find something like it, please. It looks very practical for other hair decorations than hats too. Thank you. Yours, Ann

[@Uchenna_kalu]

Thanks so much. Kindly explain more on the berries formation and flowers.

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello, what exactly would you like explained?

[@mariancapper7149]

Can you go back one step. How is this base made ? It’s my favourite among the hats I’ve seen on the millinery shorts

[@TheMMFamily9]

I like bridal elastic and Bobby pins

[@mattyames]

Drusilla is such a princess :)

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

You are mistaken - she is of the higher rank of empress! 💖

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

Ilona, how did you learn to design and make hats? I’ve always loved hats. Everyone always wore hats to church when I was a child and teen. Sadly in America hats are not as popular as they once were. When watching the Royals I’m always most intrigued by the hats! Thank you for your wonderful videos. So interesting and fun to watch.

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello Valerie! Thank you for your question! I did a live stream a while back where I talked about this: kzbin.info2IbM7ylFacU

[@beautyoflife8943]

Hi, there a tutorial on how to make the middle part. Do you have a tutorial on a half hat? I'm interested in making a half hat because I'm not finding a base... I would appreciate how help... I live in Florida. Thanks so much...

[@TheMMFamily9]

I keep hand wipes and paper towels in between washing and to clean my area too..white is fussy

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hi Abby, good idea with the wipes and paper towels!

[@beautyoflife8943]

Did you make the base on these? If so is there a tutorial on them?

[@maryjorobinson1468]

Awesome, is there a video on how you made the actual hat before finishing ?

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello Mary! I am glad you have enjoyed my video 😊I have many hat making videos on my channel, with new videos published every Sunday 🎉 If you subscribe and click the notification bell, you will be notified when new videos come out 🔔

Beautiful.video.

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Thank you!

[@Sneezefox]

Do you have different engagement rings for different outfits?

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello! The short answer is yes.... the longer more sensible answer is that I like to collect stones, and on special anniversaries my wonderful husband gifts me a new one. The Garnet from the first half of the video was a lovely memento of a dancing holiday we took in Prague, and the green Emerald in the second half is our original engagement ring that we picked together.❤️

👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😘😘

[@tamarab.7151]

I want see them on you

[@tamarab.7151]

Why are they call UFO?

[@TheMMFamily9]

Can I get the flower making farts and attach it to my sodering iron ?🤔

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hi Abby, I will be discussing this in a video on flower tools soon. But a teaser answer for you is: it depends....
