This is exactly what I've been looking for! No hat block or stretching felt, just some good sewing patterns to make a decent hat. I have been wanting to repurpose one of late granfather's old corduroy jackets to make a fedora, since it doesn't much fit me anymore and is too personal to give up, so I am so glad to have found this tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! I have been looking for a hat pattern that was easy to understand the directions and didn't use a mold! Thank you and Blessings to All!
This is fantastic! I've asked so many people how I can make a fedora with bamboo felt and was told over and over it couldn't be done. It's great to know that I can use the bamboo felt over a buckram or Pellon template to create a beautiful felt hat. You're a star, @SachisStudio xxx
I needed to know how to make hats, but now I know that thanks to you. Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial. You are wonderful. (By the way, I am from Morocco) You are welcome if you intend to travel at any time.
The hat looks terrific. If I understand correctly, did you put wire around the inside edge of the brim and the top of the crown because you have seen this done on other hats, or was this an innovation of your own?
Thank you so much! This is my modified technique from vintage hat making, which I learned in college ( I learned theatre costuming) ! Traditional hat making uses buckram fabric and wire in a similar way.
Thank you for this thoughtful tutorial. Is it necessary to use wire on 2 locations that are sewn together? (For instance, the inside of the brim and the bottom of the crown)
@@SachisStudio Thanks for your speedy reply. I'm connecting the brim and the top now, with a wire on each, and can't imagine doing without the double wires.
@@SachisStudio ok thank you I’m learning and thought a pattern would be easier however I’m been able to follow along with the tulip hat and the bucket hat but thank you anyway 🤗
