Feeling confident today? I started on the Georgiana #coverbyveloaporter today for #melbournecupday I’m using a beautiful off-white cotton blend fabric from @tessutifabrics Never have I ironed so much before but the heat and steam seals the seams crisply and gives a very fine finish to the crown of Cover. Yesterday, I steamed the brim and shaped it into a satisfying curve. Let’s see what tomorrow brings ! Be professional. Be sustainable.

Have you experimented today? Took home the brim of this prototype #coverbyveloaporter and steamed it with the kettle. Amazingly, the shape held and is close to what I would like! Planning to include some flowers and tulle for the top like this! Tomorrow I’ll have to fix the hole for the crown of the @bernunlimited helmet as it has changed with the addition of the interfacing. Testing it out with the @nutcasehelmets ! Very inspired by @philiptreacy and @neilgriggmillinery Be professional. Be sustainable.

Product development underway today for #coverbyveloaporter ! And this fabric stiffener is a clear fail. The weight of the calico is too great to support itself even with stiffener. I think the solution is likely to include buckram - a very heavy interfacing and perhaps a few layers of it too! Will change the shape of the brim slightly too. It’s too round at the front. Heading to @bobbinandink this afternoon. Be professional. Be sustainable.

Health is wealth. Heading back home after a visit to my osteopath in Bondi Junction to take care of my hip injury. Time to strengthen with my physio now.

What do you do when the weather isn’t great Sydney ? I’ve been inspired to innovate another design for #coverbyveloaporter Using a vintage Vogue Pattern, I’ve copied and modified it by extending the brim an additional 8 cm and extended the back. I’ve also cut it into a front and back piece to be able to modify the fit to my @bernunlimited Macon helmet. Fabric stiffener waiting at home to elevate the brim for this preliminary version. For the past few years, I’ve been photographing the style and colour of Melbourne Cup Day in Sydney on the streets of Sydney. I’ve had to carry my bicycle helmet to ride and a lovely hat to walk around and take photos. This year, only one Cover by Velo-a-Porter! Be professional. Be sustainable.
