I haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but am always inspired by Claire's expertise and knowledge, there is always something new to learn. I have been indulging in some vintage patterns lately, and realize how little I know of couture techniques, although sewing all my life. In particular, I would like to know more about underlining and structure (boning and stabilizing shapes). Carolyn

I love wearing hats, and the instructions and ideas in the article and online have encouraged me to think creatively and try making one of my own. Thanks!

stunning, I really like what you've done!

A fun idea. I do a lot of bias tape edges on quilted items. My avatar is an applique that was based on a photograph.
