Hi Everyone! Welcome to Part 3 of Miniature Millinery! This week we are introducing a new pattern, the 1940's Pleated Felt Hat, and have a full tutorial video to go along with it! The pattern is available to be redeemed with your February discount code, or you can simply choose to purchase it!
For this weeks project, you will need to make the same basic felt hat that we made in week one, except don't cut out the brim, this new design includes a new pattern piece to create this stunning pleated shaped hat!
Supplies needed for this project, beyond the first set of basic supplies:
- 13 inches of 1/2-inch wide ribbon for the hat band,
- a 12 inch square of lightweight fabric for the lining.... synthetic lining, batiste, voile, or silk work well for this.
- A tapestry or leather needle
- Buttonhole thread
- Some small feathers or other similar embellishments if you'd like to jazz up your hat a bit.
Week Two Task:
- If needed refer back to the video for Part 1, and follow along to make the basic molded felt hat first, but don't cut the brim! Then follow along with this new design to create a darling 1940's inspired hat!
