I think that was great. I can see the urge to go and buy all sorts of things but am restraining myself as you have shown that quite a few household things can be used to block on and I think I am going to try with the placemats to start with to see how I get on. I will buy some neutral coloured Petersham because in my experiments using wire and heavy fusible interface, I think the edges of the brim etc are where you can really mess up so I will make one from those straw placemats (or two) and see how it turns out as I think you can manipulate those things pretty easily. I will let you know though!

@SHMillinery 2 жыл бұрын

Yes do keep in touch with how things go, it is best as you mention, to use products that are easily found, and not too expensive when starting out. It gives a feel for the art of hat making

Really informative video. I'm wanting to make an early 1920s wide brim style hat and I was a little overwhelmed with all the options. But you set out all the different fabrics nice and clearly. Any tips for DIY blocks for making one off wide brim hats.

@SHMillinery 4 жыл бұрын

Hiya, if you want to do a brim, but best suggestion is to look for a large shallow platter or bowl (any type) in either charity or thrift shops, or other peoples cupboards :) Any shallow bowl upside down will work if it is roughly the size you want

@tinajohnston2736 3 жыл бұрын

Wow thanks for the lovely video! My husband and I do Edwardian costuming and love hats :) We have gone and taken classes from our local milliner but there has always been a bit of a gap in trying to figure out what I would need to prepare to make my own from here. This talk was great! The block bit especially. So does it matter if say I have a huge head? is a 22" block still the best one? or should we get one based on our head size?

@SHMillinery 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you are making the hats just for yourselves, then get them in your head size. If you are making them for others then an average size is better, as you can make a block bigger (tutorial on this coming soon) but you can't make smaller. Hope this helps 😀

Do you suggest using 100% cotton petersham or a blend of rayon and cotton? Thank you! I love your videos.

either will work as well

Is it best to get a round head block or an oval shaped one? Thank you.

Oval is better and suitable for more styles

How can one enlarge a crown block?

@SHMillinery 3 жыл бұрын

The only way to make it bigger is to block a felt or paper(toyo) or straw hood over it, till you get the size you want, then cover it, and block your main materials on top

@mmaditshabamlandeni3861 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, will do that
