How do you make fabric roses for millinery?

Does anyone know of a book or classes that teach milliners how to make beautiful flowers to trim hats?





I searched the web and found one class in London. Are there resources in the United States? Chicago would be the best location for me, or a good book on the subject would help.

How do you make fabric roses for millinery?
this site has several millinery books online, with the most info I've ever seen in one place. There are several complete books on the site - all for free.

Reply:I watch the carol duvall show on hgtv and she has instructions on her website by helen gibb who is an expert on making ribbon flowers. do a search for helen gibb and you can see what's there. also her books are listed. I think the books are available used, but they are still pretty expensive. go to www.hgtv.com and find the carol duvall show and then search for helen gibb.
Reply:instructions on line free, just google fabric roses or ribbon roses
