Hats I interpretated for my course, 2015

 
Inspiration comes from the Australian detective show
Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries
 
Different stages and processes of making hats
 
This is the start of my buckram hat, blocked and pinned
to hold the shape
 
 
 
Buckram all dried and ready to hand sew the crown
to the brim,

 
This image looks bitty but its just the light shining on the
four-way stretch velvet, finished off with lace

 
Below is my Black Spanish Gaucho Hat
and my cream Cloche hat 

 
Below is the cloche hood after blocking, pins removed
and the felt stiffener has been applied and left to dry
 
 
 
This stage has now been ironed and cut into shape,
and ready for decoration
 
 
 
 
Hand sewn decoration gives the finishing touch
to this Cloche hat
