Blog recommendations

I found some great new (to me) blogs over the weekend that i have to share with you guys, two millinery ones and a tailoring one.

Lucy Chalk is a French milliner blogging biligually, each post being written in both English and French versions. She's got a wealth of cool information, from focus posts on blocks and equipment to spotlights of runway millinery to hat-heavy costume-film reviews!

West Coast milliner Wayne Wichern now has a blog, and his first post on recarving "outre" old hat blocks into new fashion-forward or more versatile shapes is a real winner! Mr. Wichern is teaching a two week blocking course this summer at Penland School of Crafts that i'm hoping to attend. Just sent in my application last week!

And, Made By Hand is a great blog written by a tailor, who spends a lot of posts excavating the interior construction and hand-finishing details of bespoke suits. Fascinating stuff.
