I love this. I'm currently studying to make hats as well. I bought a 1931 reprint showing me how to make these kind of hats. The brims from that era in time were angled more than in the 20s. Thank you for the tutorial!
If you are referring to how the piece of wood is made, that's a hat block and hatmakers purchase them. Makers of hat-block need a different skillset (the sculpture aspect)
Excelente video. Me gustaria saber cómo llegas a la forma básica para después colocarlo en en molde. Creo que falta esa parte, sería muy interesante para poder ver todo el proceso. Muchas gracias.
Can you please explain exactly how to measure the right amount of fabric. I saw how you measured the head but not the fabric itself. Please can you explain that. Also why do you steam the fabric?
She measures the head to find the right mold size. If your head is 58 cm, you have to use a mold with a 58 cm around. The felt "cloche" is always the same size.
+Iliana Tiaré Ruiz Guillén Thank you Iliana. I studied with several milliners around England. I offer many different workshops and an introduction to millinery course.
Google Millinery Supplies! Many good sites with felt supplies , instruction books,blocks ,and display heads! Browse around till you find what you need and in your price range! Good luck!
This video was mainly filmed for those who are booking a cloche workshop with us. 'With all due respect'' you have no idea from this video how we block our hats. Comments such as yours are uncalled for. We block all our hats using the traditional method of steaming, what method did you use 11 years of blocking? I trust from your comment you are not a milliner! Thank you your input.
Sorry for my comment if it offended you. Answering your question, the equipment its more advance, and method of blocking is more effective with excellent results. Again, hat blocking its my passion. It was not my intention to cause any negative feeling.
Explaining the way it should be done without visuals its kind of difficult. I'm going to get a video on how to block a hat, once I get it, I will paste a link here. Hope it could help you guys.
Winner of a video, been searching for "flapper costume patterns free" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panadarson Flapper Falbala - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
The music is so relaxing and tutorial well done

I too need to know learn.give me some information
I love this hat. The shade of blue you chose to compliment the red felt is perfect. Really nice.
BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!
How did you mold the original shape? The video show only how to decorate a cloche, not make it?

Where do you find the template hat material before you start molding it.

Hola. Que tela usas???
Hello, thank you for your video. Do you add shellac inside the hat?
We don't as the wool hood comes pre-stiffened usually.
Thanks for the vídeo. Where do you get the mold?, and how do you get the original shape before you decorat it?
adorable!
Beautifull, love it¡¡¡¡thank you¡¡¡
so what do you do if you don't have a hat block?
Is it possible to make a topper style hat from wool felt material that is already in a fabric form?
what kind of wire is that at 3:10?
But the initially hat how did you made?
Lindo perfeito❤

what was the song you used?
Excuse me, I would like to know where did you study how to make hats? Also I wanted to congratulate you for your amazing skills c:
+Iliana Tiaré Ruiz Guillén Thank you Iliana. I studied with several milliners around England. I offer many different workshops and an introduction to millinery course.
Oww it's a shame that I live very far away from England, thank you so much for answering my question c:
I would love to learn how to make these. I'm in the US, where can I buy the stuff needed to start & do you offer an online class?
Starr196L What I did, was bought a couple of reprint books dating from the 20s and 30s. They are well illistrated on the directions.

What was the song you used in the video?
Frank Sylvano vocal, The Ambassadors - Me And The Man In The Moon (1928)
👏👏👏👏👍
Steaming the felt over an ordinary electric kitchen kettle is far easier, and faster, than using a steam iron....
Not really, you get far less control and are much more likely to burn yourself.
Where the heck can we find such hood like wools like the one you're using here to fix that felt hat?!
Wool felt hoods can be purchased from millinery suppliers such as Petershams, Parkins or Trimmings company in the UK.

I worked 11 year for Eric Javits, blocking hats. And with all due respect, you guys need to improve hat blocking techniques.

Didn't really answer the question. They asked what your superior method was and all you could say was that it was better.

VideosTower where is it then? Keyboard cowboy!

i didn't like the flower, i think it ruined it for me, a bow would had been more classy
Why don’t you just make a good looking hat instead?
