learning how to make a Gatsby–inspired flapper headband, a cabaret fascinator,
and a beautiful faux-fur peter pan collar.

The next block is centred

Week Eight – Ten: The Fabulous Forties!
‘Make Do and Mend’ was the
motto of the era. Bring along your old vintage scarves and jewellery to make your
very own 1940’s style war-time hat.
You will take home 1 or
2 items per each era – if you are a fast worker you will come away with as many as 6 beautiful handmade items, and the skills to create more at home!
