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.

    "I need a hat. I don't know how to make a hat. I'm going to jump in and make a hat anyways!" It turned out wonderfully. Excellent job and description of how you did it. Thanks so much for sharing your project. Take care.

    If my great-grandmother, a milliner in the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, had had a hot glue gun, she’d have used it! She passed away long before I was born, but her love of “working smarter” was often remembered to the family.
    I’m dead impressed by this gorgeous hat you’ve materialized!! Granted it took far more effort than waving a wand, but is no less magical, in my book. Well done! Have a beautiful and happy week!

    the hat looks marvelous. As casual observer I would've never guessed it wasn't made by an expert

    Fantastic! Between you and TheClosetHistorian, I'm starting to believe that I can actually manage to make a hat for my 1880s project. You give me hope!

    I'm slightly hat obsessed, and this is one I'd gladly add to the collection. You did an amazing job with it. Hopefully my own endeavors turn out half so well.

    I love the shape of the brim. Your hat looks lovey. One of my favorite parts of making things is that moment of thinking/feeling "I could try to do that myself"! It's exciting to see others have that moment too.

    Thanks for showing that! I'm also planning to make a hat but since my style seems to be medieval peasant, I'm going to be making it out of braided strips of corn husk (couldn't find the kind of grass I wanted for a proper straw hat). Yours looks far nicer than mine plans to!!
