    I need someone to make me a jester's hat

      Absolutely superb. I gave Lorna instructions to make a very complicated stage prop Jester's Hat based only on a couple of photos and the sizing instruction 'I have a big head'. The result was a great improvement on the old one I'd been using and also colour and size perfect. She communicated very well throughout and delivered the hat quickly and for a good price. I would recommend her without reservation. A thoroughly professional job.
