Here I have blocked my Sinamay hat, the calico is
used to protect the sinamay when the pins are removed
Dried and ready to remove from the block,
not bad for first go, pleased with the results,
I have made a paper template to find the right size for the crown,
once this is done hand sewing starts again to attach
brim to crown
Finishing touches.
Velvet band around the crown, I have also made a bow
that has been attached to the velvet which will be visible
on the professional images I will up-load at a later date.
Petersham is attached inside and binding around the brim
to finish off the whole look
I used this paper pattern to make the flat cap
Machined sewn seams, ironed, measurements taken for head size. The
Harris Tweed is lovely to work with well worth the money
This is the padded lining I used with the Harris Tweed label
machine sewn in
Finished Flat Cap
Really pleased with my finished cap, just need to get in a hot shower
to shape it to my head, a tip from the armed forces.
I have really enjoyed this millinery module and would love the
opportunity to make more hats
