Hat Making Inspiration - Sewing Patterns Part 2
Below you'll find some of my favorite images from sewing patterns for making hats. In my last post on this subject, I included several photos of hats in fashion illustrations on sewing patterns. As I mentioned, these pictures are often a fantasy of the illustrator, rather than reality-based, but sewing patterns for MAKING hats are another story. As you can see, these have more detail, they are closer-up, show seams, etc., all so you can get a better idea of the construction. Right now I'm working only with blocked felt, but I've made soft fabric hats in the past- looking through these again is fun, maybe I'll try some of these out later this year...

I was so excited to see you post these Tricia!! A few years back I found an old pattern from the 1930's for a variety of lovely ladies hats, but have yet to attempt to make them.....we should have a "vintage hat making" clinic sometime!
