I saw this pattern in the book and promptly bought it. Got home and started reading the instructions. I was so lost. I just put the instructions back and I have been glaring at the pattern ever since - decades! Thank you for doing this! Your hat is just spectacular and I am super excited to stop glaring at it and make it!
I never thought making a hat could be this confusing and frustrating until i found this…. But you made it so wonderfully! It looks so beautiful✨It’s all worth it when you finally see the finish product
Thank you for going through all the hard stuff to make this easier for us to make. Appreciate it soooo much. Now that red was screaming for some lorie footage.
Somehow Lori never made it down to the sewing room for this one...though my hubby did get a rather humorous photo when I put it on to show him what I'd made...I'll have to Instagram it or something :)
I bought that same pattern over a year ago. I'm wanting to make that same hat. I am not the sewer you are, and I have a hard time figuring out the instructions. I'm so glad I got to watch you make your hat, but I am still very unsure of myself to make this hat. I just love the looks of this hat so I hope I can pull it off or get something very similar.
Give it a go! Unfortunately I didn't really make this video as a proper tutorial, so I hope I don't confuse you too much! But anything's got to be better than those written instructions!
Your hat turned out so striking, and it really looks great! I bought the same pattern once several years ago and abandoned it in utter frustration. I clearly didn’t have the patience then. Now that I have seen you succeed at it, my faith that this is achievable is restored and I am tempted to try again.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for this video… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I’ve been working on this hat for months now to ready for the 2022 Melbourne Cup… it is to go with a 1950’s coat done in the the same green delustered satin… yes Satin!!!! It has been a nemesis of mine at times and your video has helped me so much , especially the buckram bit!!! Thank you so much you’ve helped me so much!!!
You are a stronger woman than I am! I tried to make this pattern a couple of years ago and was absolutely overwhelmed and finally just gave it up! Kudos to you, it is lovely.
This goddamn hat. Do you know I've been sewing for 30 years? I don't use patterns very often, so part of this may be down to pattern-illiteracy, but I don't think I've ever just straight-up not understood a pattern before. I've even made tons of cloches and fascinators before, but this one has me stymied. I'm gonna make it along with you watching this video. I'm felting a very heavy fabric for this, so hopefully that will streamline the process a bit. Or maybe it will be a horrible mistake. Another one, that is, after the purchase of this pattern! Cheers, I'm gonna go pour myself a drink now.
Love it! Have a drink now, and then save one for when you have to take a frustration break! Don't judge you pattern reading skills based on this one...the instructions are opaque even for the pattern literate! In retrospect, I would have loved to use a thicker felt for this one, so you might be on the right track. I hope my fumbling attempts help you achieve this wonder of a headpiece!
I do all kinds of milinery, - Victorian buckram decorated forms, decorate raw straw forms, Edwardian hats, but but I was not prepared to try this one because Im not reallly good at following patterns. SO youve given me some interest in trying this. I have a good colllection of original 20th C vintage hats, as well as countless Georgian thru to Edwardian hats and bonnets Ive made...but not a fabric one like this. Good job!!
Thank you! There will definitely be more sewing videos...unfortunately school will be slowing me down a bit, but the videos will dribble out as I have time :) Good luck with your own drafting learning - it's an interesting process for sure!
I found Angela Claytons pillbox hat tutorial and am now hooked. Therefore me turning up here. I dont have a sewing machine (I have a very basic mini machine) but it seems the most logical way for me to alter clothes to look to be vintage or to take the plunge and make things. I usually hand sew fiddly things but am thinking about getting a 'real' sewing machine if I find I am trying to make bigger items. I liked and subscribed. Off to watch you and the Vogue hat... Wow thats complicated looking...I am still at the circles of buckram (or heavy interfacing) sewn to rectangles for the brim/crown, I dont even knew what to call the bits because, I always thought the crown was the very top bit, but I seem to be picking up that the bit (rectangle) that holds the top up from the brim is actually the crown? Who knows? I can see why it would be called that because its shaped like a crown but then what do you call the flat bit on top?
Sorry I only just saw your comment now. Millinery terms are confusing, aren't they. From what I can tell, crown is the top and sides of the headpiece, and the brim is the bit that stands out and keeps the sun off. It seems like the top and sides of the crown don't have separate names (which I personally think is confusing). Anyway, I must say, I'm enjoying hand sewing even big projects, so if you don't get a sewing machine in the near future, I wouldn't let that put you off making bigger projects :)
I just found you! Nz here.....I made the stripe hat. It was a bit of a mission, the pieces are all wedge shaped? Huh?....anyway it turned out amazing, it was hat 3 for me ever. After a long while I found out that the hats were made from unpicked men's silk ties. Recycling at its best , hence the shape. Well done to you for making this version. And inspiring us on this walk of history we seem to be on.....lol.
@Suzi Smith - I've been thinking of trying that striped one too...does it really look like a witches hat at times? I hadn't done it yet because I can't find the right fabric - so the idea of recycling old ties is perfect! Look like a visit to the local Vinnies might be in order...
@@yesterdaytodaysewing no witches hat! I found some awful fabric at the charity shop. Its like paper , crunchy sound impossible to even put under the machine.blunts the scissors and blades. I had/ have no idea what this stuff is. Because of the stripe and weird nature, perfect for hot glue and a hat , I thought, what else can a person do? Its the cutest thing. I had some very heavy buckram that needs a pro streaming, which I don't own.( I must love difficult projects. ) I get lots of compliments everytime I wear it, so it must be a winner. Would make a lovely bride wedding hat in lace overlay and its not heavy like the big Victorian things
My mom always complained about how difficult vogue patterns were. That being said she made me some beautiful vintage clothes from their patterns. As I love and wear hats I’m so intrigued by this. I never had her attempt a hat lol! She might have hurt me. One of the later things she made me was a 1940s outfit. I think I kept it somewhere. I need to find it and see if it’s wearable. I have lost lots of weight so maybe it would fit.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I'm so glad I watched it! Your voice is so calming, and I appreciate the way you talked through the process. I tend to prefer making fantasy menswear over vintage, but the journey is still fascinating to watch. Lovely hat! :)
Oh thank you! I typically hate listening to myself, so I love the feed back. Fantasy menswear sounds fantastic! I get the whole crossing of design genres - I think creative types like us just love watching others create and appreciate great design even when it's not our niche :)
Thank you!!! I have this pattern and have read through the instructions several times, only to be left utterly confused. After watching I may try this pattern again!
Frustrating, as you said, and totally worth it. I don't think I would have had the patience to complete it when the instructions just stopped around the buckram insertion!
That's the plan! I'm still looking for the perfect fabric for hat C - I wanted a stripy raw silk somewhat like the picture, but I just can't find it. Then someone mentioned that 1930s ladies often used silk ties to make these kinds of hats, so now I'm on the thrift shop search for wide ties!
Good to know, because I noticed it wasn't in the Vogue book when I last looked. I'm planning on making the C hat sometime too...I just haven't found the right fabric yet. I hope your hat turned out well!
@yesterdaytodaysewing I wish I could post a photo here... not sure if it's possible though. I used leftovers of a polyester shot taffeta to match a 1950s dress I made a year or two ago. Be warned: the instructions say to turn up a narrow hem on the buckram and then thread the wire through, but (with my buckram at least) when I ironed the hem up it glued the channel shut. I ended up just zigzagging the wire onto the edge of the buckram instead.
I can imagine that hat in a shot taffeta…I’m hoping that one day I’ll spot something in a charity store to use for it. Oh, and I was only able to get iron-on buckram too…quite annoying when using heat. I can only imagine the frustration of a channel gluing shut!
Fantastic and fun! I've had my eye on that pattern for some time and have heard that it can be a puzzle. Your version looks great! And, I love your hairstyle in your beauty shots at the end of the video. How do you keep your hair in the neat roll? I'm growing my hair longer, but I still might need longer hair than I have. Thank you!
@Christina Papp Many thanks! I hope you give it a go - it is rewarding. I might do a "how to" on the hair at some stage. I've got a lot of hair, but I think it'd be easier with shorter...a bit below shoulder would probably be long enough. Really, I wanted to try victory rolls like in the pattern photo, but that's beyond my skills with my hair!
For this I picked up the felt with some wool content from Spotlight (it's sold by the metre). I would have liked a thicker 100% wool felt, but I couldn't easily get my hand son some (short of making some felt, and I would like to try that sometime). Maybe that will be a future video :) Well, that and at least one of the other hats from this lot...I have tons of videos planned and so little free time! Anyway, enough of my planning future videos...Good luck making your hat - do let me know how you go.
My mother and her mother who sewed their own clothes b4, during and after WW2, always said Vogue patterns were very stylish BUT the directions for assembly of the pieces were always very poor. Important steps were not there or confusing. They just used Simplicity or Butterick patterns instead and added their own embellishments, pins/brooches, fur or fancy decorative buttons to jazz up a dress, purse or hat. Sew on ladies!
Hi, I’m new to your channel. I really would like to know what fabric you are using and what products you’re spraying on your materials that would be very helpful. Please and thank you. 😊
With this one I'm using a wool blend felt (I would have liked a slightly heavier felt, but you gotta go with what you can get). The buckram is just what I could get hold of at Spotlight (I tried really hard not to have iron-on!) For this I didn't use a spray, just steam. In general I try to only buy natural fabrics...rayon is as unnatural as I get...plastic fabrics are out where possible!
I self drafted from a basic fitting shell as I couldn't find anything like it from a pattern company. I have a video on the making of that dress that could help you make your own
I'm going to keep watching so I can try to finish mine but that is one confusing pattern and it's from Vogue mine is from simplicity no wonder it's confusing it's a vogue pattern
Small tip. That's not just your camera, we're the people at the other end of it all. When you throw & drag & whirl & wheel your camera around in circles at pace, you drag us with you & it can make your audience nauseous. It's quite the antidote to all your very hard work, dear.
Thank you for the constructive feedback - I still feel very new at this videoing thing and still have a lot to learn. I'll keep that in mind as I record other projects :)
I saw this pattern in the book and promptly bought it. Got home and started reading the instructions. I was so lost. I just put the instructions back and I have been glaring at the pattern ever since - decades! Thank you for doing this! Your hat is just spectacular and I am super excited to stop glaring at it and make it!
Good luck! It's well worth struggling with it...let u know if you get it done.
And nothing like the picture on the front on the pattern envelope.
rosé + sewing = bliss
I never thought making a hat could be this confusing and frustrating until i found this…. But you made it so wonderfully! It looks so beautiful✨It’s all worth it when you finally see the finish product
Thank you! I have to say, the challenges involved makes me like the finished hat even more.
Thank you for going through all the hard stuff to make this easier for us to make. Appreciate it soooo much. Now that red was screaming for some lorie footage.
Somehow Lori never made it down to the sewing room for this one...though my hubby did get a rather humorous photo when I put it on to show him what I'd made...I'll have to Instagram it or something :)
Hi ,thanks for uploading your very nice work.is it possible we have those size and pattern .
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yep.. this is one that totally stumped me! Thanks for sharing your fun!
Yeah - it really is one of those with unfathomable instructions :)
I honestly don’t know how you took those impenetrable instructions and transformed them into such a delightful hat!
Well done you!
Determination and a glass of wine! It's worth the hard work though :)
@@yesterdaytodaysewing The glass of wine made me laugh! Oddly, I somehow don’t do my best problem-solving when wine is involved…
Probably not...helps with the frustration, though!
I have no idea how you had the patience to follow those instructions to make that hat. It’s could never do that.
I do love a challenge. I must admit though...at time I thought I'd never manage it!
I bought that same pattern over a year ago. I'm wanting to make that same hat. I am not the sewer you are, and I have a hard time figuring out the instructions.

I have the same pattern. Thanks for the inspiration to give it a go. Looks beautiful. 🎉
It's worth the hard work...good luck!
it might have been frustrating (and way to confusing for me) but it came out absolutely FABULOUS!!!
Thanks...I'm not even sure how well I could explain what I ended up doing...not even sure that I could do it again...but it was worth it!
My goodness! That was really an adventure....you fought well and win!Your beaming face modeling the pretty hat is the reward....
Definitely joy in working through a difficult pattern!
I tried to make this hat. You have inspired me to try again.
Do it! It really is a fun hat once you work out the idiosyncrasies of the instructions
Your hat turned out so striking, and it really looks great!
I bought the same pattern once several years ago and abandoned it in utter frustration. I clearly didn’t have the patience then. Now that I have seen you succeed at it, my faith that this is achievable is restored and I am tempted to try again.
Sorry I'm late in replying - did you give it another try? It is so worth the hard work.
Wonderful job! You look fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!
The lack of instructions around the buckram is wild! But the hat turned out beautifully even so 😊
I know...the whole hat process is so counter-intuitive...I'm still not sure if I got it completely right, but at least it came together!
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for this video… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I’ve been working on this hat for months now to ready for the 2022 Melbourne Cup… it is to go with a 1950’s coat done in the the same green delustered satin… yes Satin!!!! It has been a nemesis of mine at times and your video has helped me so much , especially the buckram bit!!! Thank you so much you’ve helped me so much!!!
I'd love to see how it turned out in satin - I've appreciated not having to finish off the edges of the felt.
Thank you. You have encouraged me to get my hat forms out and the pattern to sew....
Go for it! Hats are always worth it :)
You are a stronger woman than I am! I tried to make this pattern a couple of years ago and was absolutely overwhelmed and finally just gave it up! Kudos to you, it is lovely.
Thanks - it certainly was a struggle, but worth it...hope you give it another go

Wow! You did such a fabulous job. You look great in your 1940s hat. I thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you so much! I wish I had more opportunities to wear it...we don't wear enough fancy hats as a society :)

That hat really suits you. Lovely!

I so have to try make more hats - have you found great resources that have helped you?
That was a difficult, pattern. The results were absolutely brilliant.
Thanks - I'm normally okay at following sewing instructions, but this really was something else. I have new appreciation for 1940s home sewers!
Very brave and patient... looks great on you too! 😍
Thanks! Everyone needs a challenge...now I just need somewhere to wear it!
I am on the process of self leaning the drafting . And it's such pleasure to see you drafting and sewing . Please do more sewing video . 😊

This pattern has recently been rereleased under the Simplicity brand (I don't think it's out in Australia yet) . I made view C a few weeks ago.
Good to know, because I noticed it wasn't in the Vogue book when I last looked. I'm planning on making the C hat sometime too...I just haven't found the right fabric yet. I hope your hat turned out well!

Well done!

gorgeous
Thanks!
Can you do a video on 7464A?
I'm looking forward to trying some of the other hats - not sure when I'll get around to it though...so many projects, so little time!
Thanks for your video. I will try this hat! But it's not easy for me... I don't understand everything... My English is so bad...
And I have a very Australian accent and probably talk very fast...sorry about that. Hopefully following the images will help at least.
looks great!
Thank you! I reckon it was worth the faff :) Now I just need somewhere fancy to wear it!

I am completely stumped when it comes to the knot. 🙃🥴
Vogue always has beautiful patterns but unfortunately the patterns were not always clear...
I do generally love the cut and the fit of their patterns...but whenever the design is out of the ordinary it can be really hard to follow.
am curious about your 1930s dress - what pattern did you use for that?? thank you
I self drafted from a basic fitting shell as I couldn't find anything like it from a pattern company. I have a video on the making of that dress that could help you make your own
Where can viewers find vintage inspired hat pattern envelops ?
Some of the big pattern companies still have these for sale, otherwise look to Etsy or Ebay.
@@yesterdaytodaysewing thank you for the tip
OMFG, that is so complicated. I'm pretty sure you could get a job at NASA!

Looks nothing like the picture .
I know! I still can't work out how they got the picture looking like that!
Gouge patterns are so misleading even watching this I’m unable to understand
They're not the simplest, are they? And this one particularly so...and I'm still not sure if I got it right!
Vague/ vogue...🥴
I agree, though most patterns of theirs that I've tried in the past I've managed to muddle through...this however was next level!
