The trials and tribulations of trimming hats
Hello everyone and happy (almost) new year! I'm ending 2019 with one more patreon exclusive video. This one focuses on decorating hats. I did a video like this once before, where I talked through my process of trimming a late 19th century inspired hat, and you guys seemed to enjoy it.
So when I had this quad of hats in need of trimming, I decided to film the process once again! I hope you enjoy seeing my approach to each one, and how they turned out in the end.
And I hope your year is ending on an enjoyable note in general!
I will talk to you guys in 2020, and thank you for your support throughout 2019! :)

Where do you recommend getting ostrich feathers from? I really want to do a project that needs alot and I haven't a clue where to buy them. I am in the UK. Thank you! Love this video, so relaxing to watch, im doing some embroidery at the same time.
The Edwardian hat looks amazing! Also the little orange one, so cute!
I'm really excited about this!!! I've been wanting to try my hand at hat making and you keep encouraging me to try new things.
Always great when you share your design process! The requirement of making the trimming coherent between 4 different hat designs and color schemes definitely made this one challenging. And although I agree that trimming them each individually would have allowed you to make each hat slightly superior, as a set the result was quite stunning!
Happy New Year!! I really enjoyed watching you work through the process of trimming these lovely hats. My favourite is the red velvet with the wheat trim - just something about it - it makes a statement! I hope you get to have a break now that Christmas is over as you had a lot going on with deadlines. I made my first blouse yesterday with a bought pattern and like the outcome. Mind you, I started making it 3 months ago and just went into panic/brain-freeze whenever I went to do anything on it. Got there finally. Thank you for your inspiration!!
The Hay Hat is the best for me. Simple, not overloaded yet very elegant.
Happy New Year!! I think this pattern will be able to serve a lot of purposes, because I was amazed at how modern the "naked" hats looked before you added the trim. The pillbox, the dark red velvet, and the 1880s one especially had a 1940s feel to them. What a difference do these trims make! It's always super interesting to see you go through the process. I think my favorites are the dark red velevet with the wheat and the pillbox hat! I was very impressed with the Edwardian too, it was so cool to see it come together and the final result is so lovely!! All the best wished for the New Year, Angela! What are you excited about in 2020?
Some people are so far! I'm not. Happy New Year from the northern bit of the same state as you!
They are all great, but I really love how the Edwardian Drama Hat turned out. I also like the Hay Hat.
Vlogmas 3 made me laugh. “Can’t, because nails.”
Can’t wait for the pattern to come out. I’m looking forward to making the Edwardian hat to go with your Edwardian shirt/skirt pattern when it comes out.
Happy New Year from Malta! Thank you for inspiring me to finally take sewing lessons!
Happy New Year from the Netherlands! Thank you for all your great movies and I hope we may enjoy more in the coming year. AND most of all that you stay healthy and happy. 💜
