Fascinator class : new december date just added !

Well, maybe it's the because christmas is fast approaching and you're all racing to find the perfect present, or maybe because we're still trudging our way through a recession, but it seems you lot are all rushing out to learn a new skill and get crafty ! I've been overwhelmed by demands to take part in my upcoming fascinator class at the What Katie Did boutique on sun 6th december, but unfortunately it's already sold out !

So boutique manager Nicola has kindly given me another date : Sunday 13th December to deal with the demand ! Now mind you, the places are already going quite quickly for this new date - but I've still got a few spare if you hurry ...



And while we're on the subject of my fascinator class - I've been dying to share this picture (photo by Martyn Boston) sent to me by the lovely Lucy, who attended the class a few months ago. Above is a picture of Lucy wearing the fascinator she made in class with her very own fair hands - impressive isnt it ! So, if you'd like the chance to learn all the tips and tricks involved in making glamorous headwear such as the piece above, get emailing quickly ! details below ...

Workshop details :
The next fascinator workshop takes place on Sunday 13th december and all materials are included (you'll also have access to What Katie Did fabrics should you wish to make a matching fascinator for one of our corsets). You can choose from a mini tophat or a sinnamay hat base and make a fascinator to whatever size, colour and specification you like, and i'll show you all the tricks and tips i use. You dont need to bring anything as all materials are provided, but we will be using glue, so dont wear anything you mind getting sticky ! If you have any fabrics or trimmings you would like to transform into a fascinator, please feel free to bring them along with you.
There will be tea and cakes served, and you will also receive a What Katie Did 10% discount voucher to use in the shop for any purchases made on the day of the workshop.
