I tried my hand at making the 1920's cloche hat from the pattern
here.
I cut out pattern exactly.
Then followed the instructions on the video.

| First time I'd used iron on interfacing. |

| Detail round brim |
When it came to the top bit of the hat. I had to undo and restitch because I sewed the wrong side of the triangles together.
I found that the hat was too small. It wasn't going to go round my head. So had to unpick it and insert a panel to extend the circumference.

| Panel |

| Inside is a bit messy |
So here is the final hat.
I think I will make the brim taller next time so I can flick up the brim as the downward one didn't suit me.
That is cute! You did a wonderful job with it, and this is just the sort of hat I'm thinking about making for winter. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing,

Thanks. I seem to be able to handle hats & bags...I just mess up clothes. lol!
ReplyDeleteWill be redrafting the brim soon. Working out how to get the right shape. fortunately I have anough fabric to make 2 hats. And some in my stash to make a 'spring hat' (green & cream).
It looks lovely!! Making hats is fun and quite easy. I made some berret kinda hats some years ago.
