How to Make Berets - A Milliner's Guide to Sewing French Hats, (Paperback)

Beret-like headwear has been worn across Europe since pre-Roman times. Mass production began in 19th century France, Spain and Italy, countries with which it remains associated. This classic work contains all of the information you will require to make and finish a beret of your own. Contents include: "How to Make a Felt Beret", "The Beret", "Beret", "Materials", "Measurements Required", "The Beret in Strip Felt", "The Beret from a Beret Hood", "A Velvet Beret", and "The Straw Beret". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on millinery.
