Fat Cat Hats and Sacks events and shows:
Once a year there is a charity event here in Portland called "Power of the Purse" to raise
money for Girls Inc Northwest. Local celebrities are paired with local designers and each
team creates a handbag that is auctioned off the night of the event. I've been pleased
to participate several times:

to participate several times:
In 2009 Arielle Schnitzer and I created a color-
ful and fun fuschia faux fur handbag decorated
with silver sequins and metallic glass beads.
In 2008 Ann Edlen and I designed a very fancy
evening bag made with pleated silk organza and
a sterling silver handle with over 270 swarovski
crystals. What a thrill when it sold for $4000.00!
In 2006 Tracy Barry of KGW-TV and I designed
an Asian-inspired purse made with a beautiful
mudsilk fabric and fresh water pearls

I just entered one of my hat designs in a Talenthouse competition hosted by Dillion Wallwork and HATalk e-magazine.
Milliners from around the world were invited to create a hat inspired by the Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee. The
entries can be seen on the Talenthouse website and viewers can vote for their favorite from May 4th-11th to help it
receive consideration by the judges when they pick the final winners. Winners will be announced on May 14th.
My entry was inspired by the Crown Jewels...and the Imperial State Crown in particular. I incorporated elements of the
Royal Collection to create a modern day tiara-styled cocktail hat that can be worn in celebration of the Diamond
Jubilee...I used royal blue velvet, a cross pattee brooch and a "royal sceptre" hat pin. I made everything by hand...from
the wire frame inside that supports the hat to the brooch and hat pin that I used to trim it. Here is a peek...and you can
go to my entry page for more info and to view the other milliner's creations: Crown Royale by Suzanne Sherman
