My name is Gil. I'm a patternmaking, millinery and draping teacher. This channel showcases millinery, draping and pattern making videos for fashion and accessory design.
Wow wow, I just finished with this pattern and construction! What amazing instruction, it came out perfect! I can't wait to make many more! And I learned so much in the process (it's my first sewing project in a long while). Thanks for making the time and sharing, I'm grateful!
I am very grateful for this video; you explained it well. I have a question which is very important for me. I have done many batik projects and never dipped the fabric in water. I mostly remove wax by ironing the fabric with newspapers. A few months back, I started to remove wax with boiling water, but I faced the issue that the wax did not remove properly even after 2 hot baths. what do you suggest? should I use anything else for this? and one important thing I love to do is batik with silk paints.
Depending on the thickness of the wax, and the type of the wax, you might need to use a combination of techniques. Some dry cleaners will remove wax for you, but you'll need to check with them first. You can get naptha paint thinner, but it is a very harsh chemical and shouldn't be used indoors or without lots of personal protection.
Fabulous! Next i will watch boater hat bc it has the rim i want for my bucket type hat. I thought this would help me but it isn't what I need right now. You definitely have the BEST videos snd instructions! Many Blessings to you!
I just watched both the patterning and constructing and feel like you have the BEST videos. I asked my questions on the previous video so I'm just going to say THANK YOU here. Many Blessings to you! Now ill watch the single pattern piece hat video.
Thank you!! So if i want my brim to stick out more than drip down, do i not take out as much in the wedges? And if i want the crown to flare out slightly do i make wedges toward the tip (flat circle on top of head)? I'm looking to make more of a sun hat with a wide brim sticking out flat than the actual bucket hat dropping down over my ears. I also want to sew a flap onto the back half to shade my neck. I have one i use for yard work that is neon orange with reflective strips but i need one for the days i am working at the food pantry outside for hours. I'm so excited to have found your tutorial and I appreciate all the details you put into it! Many Blessings to you!
wonderful have been sewing for 40 years and this is the best I've seen I took a class at Sewing Expo and it wasn't as good or clear as this. Very highly recommend. Thank you
Thank you so much, with my small head I have great trouble finding the right hat... But with your expert guidance and tutorials I'm on a roll making quite a few.. That fit AND look good. No piece of material is safe at the moment 😂
Thank you for showing us how to do this. Hat making runs in my family. I started late but I had Aunts that did amazing work. I love watching a professional show me how to do a real and proper job!
You blow me away. I designed a Tulip hat last summer. Very much like this. Your drafting is far exceed my talent! I learned so much! So much I could improve. Thank you!
Hi there, thanks for your video. I’m making this hat up in herringbone tweed. Any thoughts on cutting out to get the most attractive patterning on the cap?
I liked way you explained everything on this video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Have you done a video of men two piece sleeve if you have where can I see it. Thank you so much.
Thank you, this was an excellent sewing video on how to make a boater. I want to make one for a boy doll that I made by referring to a 1913 paper doll illustration. After seeing how it’s done. I guess it would take at least three days to make even though it’s small (around 13” diameter).
