I really wanted some nice feathers for more fascinators but as none was at hand I had to become inventive. I looked around and decided to try a white plastic straw and some coloured felt. I cut out two identical feather shapes from the felt. Then I made a bias cut in both ends of a straw and sewed the straw in between the two layers of felt so that one end of the straw protruded like a quill. I think the “feathers” look rather attractive. Here are some of the feathered fascinators I made:
Creating textile designs, prints and surface patterns for fashion, accessories, furnishing, homeware, logos, stationery, packaging, theatre and art

These look awesome. I’m heading out in search of molting birds!
And I’m smiling thinking of you sneaking up on a dozing feathered friend. 😀
No molting bird will be safe in our neighborhood, although if we head to the beach, I can pick up quite a few sea gull feathers without spilling any blood!
