3. Gather the veiling in the centre and stitch it together to secure. Or, use the raw edge if it is shortened.
4. Once you have gathered all of the veiling together, you can centre it on the headpiece and choose the right angle. When it looks right, stitch it onto the base.

Don’t use even arrangements of feathers – they end up looking too symmetrical. Always check the way that the hat looks in the mirror or on a mannequin head along each step of the way.
