Experienced Milliner

Cheryl Warburton

I am the owner of CW Hats and Accessories a small independent shop in the heart of the market town Dorchester in Dorset. I started my design career at college doing design and textiles and have done all sorts of crafts through my life including my nan teaching me how to patchwork. I have been making hats and fascinators since 2017 where I owned a craft shop and rented shelf space and people kept asking if I did headpieces. I though how hard can it be, so I did a few you tube videos and basicly fudged it, I sold £3000 worth of headpieces in my first year but I look back now and think how awful they were! Since then I have been lucky enough to be taught by some amazing milliners . I am now an award winning milliner winning Corporate Live Wire's, Southwest England Prestige Awards "Hat Boutique of the year award in 2021". I decided to use my millinery skills to open a shop and to teach others how to make their own fabulous headpieces that you can be proud of through CW Millinery Courses. I love hats and love my job spending all day making headpieces for my customers and can not wait to be able to teach you how to make your own headpieces and maybe headpieces for others.

Enjoying it so much

Sarah Stockholm

I am currently in the middle of completing one of Cheryl’s face to face courses, and as a total beginner I already have something that I’m sure I will wear due to her clear explanations and patience with me. Enjoying it so much I’m going to carry on and complete a felt hat course once this course is completed.
