Making an 1880s Velveteen Hat
And the last video for the month : A hat tutorial. Well. Kind of. I planned on this being a tutorial, or at least a very detailed walk through of my hat making process. But I didn't film as much as I originally planned, and I ran into some problems (like making the whole thing too small) and in my quest to fix those problems, I ended up constructing this differently than any other hat I've made before.
So It's not really a tutorial. It's just a video about a hat. And my thought process when adding feathers to the hat.
But I enjoyed the process of making it, and filming the process of making it. I almost always enjoy making hats. So I might make more videos like this in the future, but I'll aim to document the process better next time!

I loved this format for the hat instructions. I like knowing your thoughts on the ideas and processes. And the whole project has been gorgeous to see.
Very Mardi Gras . I love it !
Beautiful hat!! Cannot wait to see the final picture💟✂you do have a good eye for color, and placing the trims!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR HAT PATTERN TO COME OUT!!!
Each time you added the yellow feathers I thought “yes, that looks great!”. But no, it wasn’t perfect yet, according to miss Angela. And in the end you obviously were right, the subtle patch of yellow was all it needed. Thanks for an interesting insight in your design proces.
The trimming process was so fascinating to watch, it's great to hear your thoughts as you're placing the trims and editing as you go. The finished hat is absolutely lovely!
The yellow feathers worked amazingly well! Loved the end result :)
I really liked the way you shared your creative process on the trimming - that style of 'tutorial' really works for me for something so individual. And what a great hat! Kinda Pilgrim meets 1880s!
Love the shape, especially the jaunty flipped up brim. Very cool.
Super sassy! ♥️
