Making a Victorian Hat... when you don't know how to make a hat!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Something I've learned since starting historical costuming is that accessories really pull a look together. I'm slowly trying to improve myself on this, adding hats, gloves, belts, and hopefully one day jewellery. Hats, however, can be really intimidating. Or so I thought at first. Turns out, it's not necessarily too hard to pull together a hat that can pass as nice! And they sure are fun to trim. This is only the second hat I've ever made from scratch but I think it turned out well. The pattern for it is on Patreon, if you're interested! Here are the materials I used: velvet fabric, batting, heavyweight interfacing, some fabric from the matching ensemble, some tarlatan for last minute stiffness, plastic wire, glue gun, and a variety of feathers. Hats don't take a lot of fabric either! Anyway, I hope this was easy-ish to follow, but let me know down below if you have any questions. I think in the future I can start being a bit bolder with trimmings to be more like the originals. --1890s WALKING SUIT-- Part I https://youtu.be/PkZ35XMAKXE Part II https://youtu.be/aAA_PN8saLY Part III https://youtu.be/Cw9-pI-ldhQ -- MORE -- Patreon (exclusive videos), https://https://www.patreon.com/catscostumery Instagram (perhaps overactive stories): @catscostumery https://www.instagram.com/catscostumery/ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/V7V7HRLN Blog: https://happilyevertaffeta.wordpress.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/c
