<p>I know what you mean I get carried away with blocks, silk and sinamay.  Then sit for days wondering what to do first then time passes and I haven't done anything. I feel that I have been a permanent  student.  I love making flowers just bought the lessons on French flower making to extend my knowledge. I think if I had a husband I would have been divorced more than one. LOL  Just going to put feathers and crystals on to some small fascinators I have made from left over sinamay I have made…</p>

<p>The fedora block that I have I bought from Hat Blocks Direct and the price is very good.  You can buy a brim and tipper to go with it.  I found that the brim was great with a string groove, it made the edge very sharp. </p>

<p>Thank you Catherine.  I am going to make a few cloches and also some fedoras. Reading the discussions I have decided to go for it. I hope they do well in the boutique I am opening in the next 2 weeks.  Shelagh</p>

Yes definitely thank you Carena! :-) I have a couple of cloches in a local boutique, so hopefully as soon as our 'hot' weather spells have finished there'll be more sales?? I do love the cloche though, (however, they really don't suit me personally :-( )

I was talking to a boutique shop owner today. She said all the winter cloche hats sold like hotcakes. She said even people who had never bought a hat before, bought one. She said the influence of TV shows, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Downton Abbey had made them hugely popular. This was the shop where I took the Pic and posted it on here earlier this week. All the cloches in that shot have been sold.,I hope this helps!
