Making a Victorian Hat... when you don't know how to make a hat!

- Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
Something I've learned since starting historical costuming is that accessories really pull a look together. I'm slowly trying to improve myself on this, adding hats, gloves, belts, and hopefully one day jewellery. Hats, however, can be really intimidating. Or so I thought at first. Turns out, it's not necessarily too hard to pull together a hat that can pass as nice! And they sure are fun to trim. This is only the second hat I've ever made from scratch but I think it turned out well. The pattern for it is on Patreon, if you're interested!
Here are the materials I used: velvet fabric, batting, heavyweight interfacing, some fabric from the matching ensemble, some tarlatan for last minute stiffness, plastic wire, glue gun, and a variety of feathers. Hats don't take a lot of fabric either! Anyway, I hope this was easy-ish to follow, but let me know down below if you have any questions. I think in the future I can start being a bit bolder with trimmings to be more like the originals.

"I need a hat. I don't know how to make a hat. I'm going to jump in and make a hat anyways!" It turned out wonderfully. Excellent job and description of how you did it. Thanks so much for sharing your project. Take care.
If my great-grandmother, a milliner in the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, had had a hot glue gun, she’d have used it! She passed away long before I was born, but her love of “working smarter” was often remembered to the family.
I’m dead impressed by this gorgeous hat you’ve materialized!! Granted it took far more effort than waving a wand, but is no less magical, in my book. Well done! Have a beautiful and happy week!
your words are so wise and kind wow
the hat looks marvelous. As casual observer I would've never guessed it wasn't made by an expert
Fantastic! Between you and TheClosetHistorian, I'm starting to believe that I can actually manage to make a hat for my 1880s project. You give me hope!
You might try Angela Clayton if you haven't found her on TH-cam yet. She has some hat tutorials too.
deep respect for you delving into a world you're not at all knowledged in, and also for your result looking so beautiful! thanks for sharing :D
I'm slightly hat obsessed, and this is one I'd gladly add to the collection. You did an amazing job with it. Hopefully my own endeavors turn out half so well.
This is the second black velvet hat I've run across in as many days -- what's that? I need a velvet hat? Hmmmm, maybe I DO need a velvet hat! Good Job! Stay well.
The zigzag stitches is a nice trick.
the closet historian posted a bonnet making video yesterday. did you see that one? yours is pretty good for a first try!
I saw that video too! I was about to recomend it to her!!😅
I think both turn out beautiful! And they are sort of from the same era..
This is a wonderful tutorial Cat, super informative 😊
I love the shape of the brim. Your hat looks lovey. One of my favorite parts of making things is that moment of thinking/feeling "I could try to do that myself"! It's exciting to see others have that moment too.
Thanks for showing that! I'm also planning to make a hat but since my style seems to be medieval peasant, I'm going to be making it out of braided strips of corn husk (couldn't find the kind of grass I wanted for a proper straw hat). Yours looks far nicer than mine plans to!!
That was wonderful. While watching I wondered if you had watched Angela Clayton site. She has made lots of hats.
Yes I love Angela's content! :)
I immediately saw Eliza Doolittle at the end there :) You made that look so easy, although I know it took so much time and effort. Bravo!
I am going to try this hat ,I just love it ,this will be my first, this open my desire to create again
That hat turned out really beautiful! Thank you for breaking down the steps and thereby making millinery less intimidating! I will try this some day!
Looks lovely! Really inspired to get hat making, once I've go try basic wardrobe sorted. My only experiment with hat making (years ago) went so horribly wrong I've been avoiding it ever since.
Also this was lovely to watch! It's so fun seeing your process!
Such a beautiful hat! Congrats on a job well done! Looking forward to photos of the finished outfit.
All those clips 😱
An amazing addition to the suit! And you look so happy while wearing it :D
Goodness me - another lovely hat video within a week! Just like buses 😁
Beautiful !
An artist at work. I love it.
It's lovely. Well done!
This came out so wonderfully! Excellent work on everything.
This has taught me so much. Thanks!
You look so good with the hat! 😍
that was a great process to watch. I am inspired to do the same now😊
The song at 11.45 sounds so much like "journey to the past" from Anastasia.
lovely!!
This turned out looking so good. Well done. :}
Lovely!
You are SO brave!!!
Aww, you look amazing~ Maybe I'll try my hand at hat making, I think small hats are so cute.
I absolutely love it , just a note for future you , try using buckram for your stabiliser it’s much stiffer , but well done on your improvising , you just can’t tell at all ❤️❤️❤️
, such a pretty hat, I would not have known that you didn't already know how to make a hat.
Damnit, don't get me into hats! Your videos are too lovely for you to take on new things!
MAGNÍFICA.......ESPETACULAR.........INCRÍVEL.........
I'm sure that if hot glue guns had been available any milliner would have used one.
Wow!👒
Okay so like YES!
what is your sewing machine? I am really wondering what machine you have because it looks really good. :) Also your video is awsome have a great day!
🎩❤
The hat is awesome! And no one can tell me that people in ye olde times wouldn't have used glue guns if they had them!
Great video! Now I'm excited about making my first hat too :D I love your thimble btw, do you remember where you got it or is it vintage?
It's this one, amzn.to/3uhUpHK I really like it :)
@@CatsCostumery Thank you!
Bonjour... où peut-on se procurer le gabarit pour le chapeau svp ? ou les mesures
A hot glue gun - there's no shame in that game.
