comments from Shannon...
I loved this class from start to finish. It excited me and inspired me so
much! Although I have to admit that I initially wanted to take the class for
the hatmaking section, I learned so many valuable things about underpinnings - why they were worn and how to construct
my own. I now have proper drawers, a chemise, a petticoat, and I have wonderful instructions on how to construct
my own custom-fit corset. The hat and bonnet section was more than I could have hoped for. I can now make a hat
or bonnet for each and every outfit that I have, or any outfit that I make in the future! Marna Jean is so knowledgable
and so helpful. I really got frustrated with my capote bonnet. I just didn't quite know how I wanted to embellish
it. I posted a question for Marna Jean on the message board and she got right back to me with photo references,
and now I have a bonnet that I'm very happy with. The message board is also great because fellow classmates post
questions and suggestions of their own. I've learned so much and plan on taking more classes with Marna Jean in
the future. Thanks for a great class! It was too much fun!

The class was so fun. My wheels are spinning as I see junky thrift store hats
in a new light, armed with the information Marna Jean taught us. Thanks Marna Jean for all you've taught us. Can't
wait for more! - Dana
