3. Start your stitching on the far left side, on the last tooth of the comb. Stich back and forth in
order to secure the comb safely to the fascinator base. Make stiches in the opposite
direction, as shown in the photo, to create a backwards letter L shape.

4. Secure the thread and tie it off.
5. Repeat the same process that you just completed, in mirror image on the right side of the
comb.
You can also use a glue gun to attach a strip of petersham over the top of your comb to cover all of
the stiches.

2. Decide the length of the veil you desire, which will allow you to determine how much veiling
you will need to cut.
3. Gather the veiling in the centre and stitch it together to secure. Or, use the raw edge if it is
shortened.
4. Once you have gathered all of the veiling together, you can centre it on the headpiece and
choose the right angle. When it looks right, stitch it onto the base.

6. Repeat the same with the left side, gathering the veiling together and attaching it.

Make sure that the ripples and gathers in the veiling curve away from you face. This ensures that it
will not be too close and it will not irritate your skin or your eyelashes.

Don’t use even arrangements of feathers – they end up looking too symmetrical. Always check the
way that the hat looks in the mirror or on a mannequin head along each step of the way.
