Millinery Techniques | Petersham ribbon felt hat edge bind finish

If you've enjoyed this video please like & subscribe 👍🔔, this really helps me grow and reach a larger audience ❤️ I post new videos or do a live stream from my studio every week ✨✨✨ In this video I am demonstrating how to finish off the edge of a wired felt hat by binding it in a curved petersham ribbon. Because I’m sewing on a felt hat, I have also shown how to wax thread. You can apply this technique to any kind of hat with a wired edge; such as straw or buckram. This is a finish I have seen on countless vintage hats and I find it rather lovely, and I hope you do to! → Follow me ← Instagram: @byilonamillinery Website: https://www.byilona.co.uk → Tools & Materials 1 ← Thread Scissors Beeswax Plain paper (or newspaper) Iron → Tools & Materials 2 ← Wired felt hat Tape measure Petersham ribbon (I'm using a 15mm wide ribbon, but you can go thinner or wider if you want to change the difficulty level) Scissors Iron Pins Needle Thread Thimble #felt #millinery #hatmaking
