Dawn, What kind of hatmaking are you interested in? Do you want to do buckram, felt or straw? Are you looking at flat pattern construction in buckram or pulling on blocks? I have been a professional milliner for 16 years working for Disney and for 10 years at The Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach. >From the Neck Up, as others have mentioned, is considered the best reference, but there are other choices based on your area of interest. Millinery requires patience and practice. Lots of both. If I can answer any specific questions, please let me know.
