Basic Tricks To Take Your Sewing Up A Notch

Pinkham Millinery




Two weeks ago. Pencil Girl, Theatre Girl & I
attended the grand opening of Pinkham Millinery.



Miss Pinkham's creations have just been published in a history of hats book entitled Couture Hats: From the Outrageous to the Refined  by Louis Bou. Dayna is one of four Americans featured and the only american milliner outside of New York.






 I debated whether to use this photo since there is such a rosa parks' feel to it.
This gal knew Pencil Girl from a class at Portland Sewing and had taken a class from Dayna Pinkham to make this hat.

 The sweet pale pink in her hat perfectly matches her well put-together outfit.
Striking.








 Simply brilliant creations.









From cupcake hats to over the top. With discreet netting to feathers & fur.

 
A fashion show plus some nibbles and bubbly.
