My New Space is looking good.....




I am all settled in now but wow what a move! After 13 years you sure accumulate a lot of 'stuff' and I had it coming out of my ears...so happy now that all settled in and my new space is so nice and clean and beautiful with lovely airy high ceilings and a super neat floor that I LOVE !
These great photo's were taken by Hang Le Photography checkout her blog for more scenes from Julie Fleming Melbourne

Fine Straw Hat : making


the finished hat !! I have taken lots of photo's of me making this hat so you (hopefully) can follow the steps required to get such a finish. I started with a beautiful fine straw in a sensational dark cream colour which helps with the whole effect. I'll often hang onto a hood for years before I take the plunge and make a hat out of it as you need all the elements around you that you know will work well together.....as I am moving studio and shop I have uncovered some lovely materials and came across the soft tulle that I draped around the crown of this hat....and so it all began !

below the desk so often so full of 'stuff' you can't see the actual desk but then out of this mess a hat emerges. You can see the hat shape taking place I have just finished wiring the brim and softly letting the edge wave.....I also decided that the edge should have a tiny, tiny edge so as to not distract from the straw and so I chose a satin bias which took me a couple of months to find the exact colour I wanted (an ecru colour)....
