We had a wonderful morning creating facinators with Annabel from Annabel Allen Millinery. We used natural feathers and sheets of sinamey (a natural straw woven from abaca fibres) and the end results are fabulous!! “Annabel made it look so easy but when we had a go it wasn’t quite so straightforward! It was so relaxing stripping the feathers and the way the steamer works is like magic!”

With thanks to Poppies Cleaning Service for sponsoring the event and of course Annabel for donating her time and equipment. Funds raised will go straight into the rec regeneration.
