'I Do' Veils - So Can You! :
A Step-By-Step Guide to Making
Bridal Headpieces, Hats, and Veils
With Professional Results
Anyone who's ever gone shopping
for wedding clothing knows how startlingly pricey veils are. With even the
simplest bridal headpieces taking a hefty bite of the wedding budget, it
only makes sense to make it yourself if possible. Fortunately, with the help
of "I Do" Veils and the wonderful (and inexpensive) lace,
veiling, silk flowers and pearls that are widely available, it can be a fun
project and not an arduous task. There are tips for selecting the right
headpiece style for your face, figure and dress (whether it's a simple
barrette with bow or an ornate tiara with cathedral-length veil) ;
illustrations to help you decide how elaborate you want your hat, veil, comb
or clip to be; and hundreds of embellishment techniques involving nothing
more complicated than a hot glue gun. The directions are easy to follow, and
for those who don't have a good bridal section in their local fabric and
notions store, the list of wholesale and retail mail-order suppliers will be
invaluable.
45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit :
Berets, Toques, Cones, Stars,
Pentagons, and More
Anna Zilboorg is the kind of
artist and craftswoman who comes along only rarely. Her previous book, Fancy
Feet, integrated a unique color creativity with traditional fiber
folk traditions of Turkey. In 45 Fine and Fanciful Hats to Knit, she
presents nine basic hat shapes, from a fairly standard (but colorfully
interpreted) beret to amazing geometric structures such as an onion dome and
a six-pointed star (knitted in two layers). Enjoy breaking the constraints
of knitting "normal" hats and set yourself free. For those who really
want to follow directions, Zilboorg's charts are unusually clear and her
directions are brief and uncomplicated.
