Hat Making Part 3

Spent the day hand sewing the head band and petershum edge onto the hat. It was very relaxing. Enjoyed sitting there hand sewing for the day.

Finished Hat

I really loved the process of making the hat. This will not be the last hat I make. I think if everything went wrong with costumes I'd love to set up my own hat shop or something. I love how you can do whatever you want and decorate it as much as you like. I love how delicate the details can be but it can spoil you for choice.

Hat Making Part 2

So much fun. I really enjoy the experience of making a hat because it's so delicate and relaxing. I learned how to stab stitch properly and wire stitch.

Hat Making

Loads of new techniques learned today it's been great. Lots of hand sewing and seeing how to make a basic hat. It's so nice and relaxing to be able to take our time with these classes and not have to worry about the shows, just focus on the new skills that we're learning. I'd love to do more of these through the year.

It's great for experimenting like I'm doing with my clouche hat. Having it sit further back on the head and curling at the back. Can't wait to see how it's turning out

Heard Gllina talking about Hamlet and how there getting around the makes that Gabbs wanted. It was interesting to see how she deals with situations like that like suggesting for suits to have as the actors basic blacks instead of tights and a top because it's cheaper. Wouldn't have thought of that before. Finding something similar and just changing them to fit what the designer invasions or getting the designer to see why some things better. It's a very important skill.
