Here for the first time is a beautiful book on hats filled to the brim with practical and imaginative ideas for anyone familiar with using a needle and thread. The variety of headwear that can be designed and made up is impressive, as is the range of ideas for trimming and modifying bought items such as scarves, berets, felt and straw hats.
