    It s cool how you teach us how to sew. Could you do maybe a waistcoat, jacket and trousers next and then maybe more advanced pieces ( Norfolk jackets, pleated trousers etc. ).
    Best regards and cheers.

      Yes, we will get there. I don't know when we will be at jacket construction since I haven't made one, yet. However, waistcoats and trousers are included in our sewing book, so I'll do something like this for sure.

      Agreed! I've recently been doing my own alterations to some clothes and I want to learn to make stuff from scratch eventually (though I'm a long way off). This hat looks like a great place to start on something relatively small and simple and a bit more forgiving. Agreed on the size reduction as the original one was giving me landschneckt vibes, the 28cm looks far better fitting.
      I'm going to try to get the materials to make it seeing as I'm being paid to stay at home for 2 months, then I suppose I'll have to buy your book and go from there, I'd like to make my own 20s style waistcoast eventually but I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet.

    Nice job! I learned to sew while in the Army stationed in Germany back in the 70's. Back then the Germans were not too fond of American G.I.'s but since I took the trouble to dress as much like the German gentlemen as I could afford and worked hard on speaking poor but determined German I got along well. I even got an apartment on the economy at a time when the Germans refused to rent to most G.I.'s.
    By the way, in the Army a sewing kit is known as a "housewife."
    PS--I wore a cap just like that!

    Thanks this looks like fun. I plan to sew one (when I get done sewing masks) I was a bit confused when you referred to the "peak" which later I saw was the brim. I'm not sure if this is a difference between British English and American English. However, there is a big difference between "smother" and "smoother." Smother is to stop someone from breathing by covering the mouth (ersticken). You might want to update that text on the screen. I'm going to try to make a hat with felt for the lining. Mach's gut!

    • @Vintagebursche
      @Vintagebursche  3 роки тому +1

      I don't ever put wool (except knitwear) in the washing machine. Usually I just air and steam my wool garments. If there is a proper stain, I take them to the dry cleaners. You loose all the great wool wax if you wash or dry clean it too often.
