Blocking leather for hats - another of my millinery tutorials

[@eneysilva]

I love your good mood... it is so funny... and thank you very much for the tips.

Thanks so much for the video. Please did you stiffen the Paris net?

[@SHMillinery]

No, it was stiff enough

[@giftygohoho2407]

Thank you

I got this bag of leather offcuts when I was making a miniature harness for this Horse ornament as part of this Gypsy Varda caravan miniature I was doing. I was expecting like an A4 envelope of bits and pieces but what arrived was a veritable SACK of huge offcuts in every colour and finish you can think of. So I bought myself a flat vintage hat sewing pattern copy yesterday and ordered some leather needles and I will give it a try because, you could make full harness for a real horse with the amount of leather I have in that bag! I think I will buy one of those handbag frames while I am at it, to make a matching vintage bag. Anyhoo...thats for later as my sinamay has arrived along with my placemats and I remembered to drop your name at the Trimming Company and Petershams. I will upload any results (if they arent too embarrassing lol!) to Instagram so you can see them.

Thanks for the video. It's very educative. But I did see you using stiffener or is it mixed in the spray container.

[@SHMillinery]

Hi, I only used water, because I used paris net to stiffen it, I didn't need any other stiffener, hope this helps

Thank you. Never blocked leather so very helpful. I cut fabric too short too 🤣

[@SHMillinery]

I'm hopeless, I wouldn't mind but I must have a dozen tape measures 🤣🤣

[@loisreynolds9824]

Thank you!

[@Skater51]

Thanks for this video, did you add stiffener to your leather?

[@SHMillinery]

No once I added the wet leather to the Paris net, it reactive the starch in the net and it stuck hard

[@Skater51]

@@SHMillinery great, thanks.

@@SHMillinery thanks for this video. I see it was possible for the leather you used in this video to get wet. Is it a special type of leather than the usual leather used?
