A ‘make do & mend’ project I did using a Pathe instructional film to turn a mens hat into a woman’s fashion hat.
We’ve even made it into the 2012 festival highlights -
‘Second World War Vintage Fashion & Beauty (NEW!) – Fancy a new look? Pick up some wartime tricks and tips at these new demonstrations of fashion from the ’40s.’
We’ve had a lot of fun researching & practising for our demo’s as you can see form these pictures!
