How to make that hat you are wearing
@annlidslot82123 жыл бұрын
Hi, just a comment for the Mighty Algorithm. I'm still loving the hat. I wish I could find a very inexpensive block like the brim block as I have nothing to start from. Is that the hat sometimes called a Dior or maybe Chanel hat? One of the large houses but my memory deceives me. Made famous by Audrey Hepburn? Anyway, i would totally wear it against the sun. A very short bio, because you'll find me making comments for the Algorithm. I'm a European 50+ and have been a closet hat-o-maniac/hat enthusiast since I can remember. I have a very small head (53 cm, and no I'm not kidding) so just buying one has been impossible as I can spin them around my head. I'm slowly coming out of the closet and preparing to build my own now so I'm happy to find you on KZbin. I've subscribed and will be the one with all the silly questions. Yours, Ann

Hi Ann, I'm loving your push to promote me to the Mighty Algorithm! And thank you! Yes, sometimes it is called a Dior hat - but the generic name for this shape is a "mushroom". You may be thinking of the hat Audrey Hepburn wore in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" I know the dress in that scene was made by Givenchy, but I'm not sure who made the hat. As for where you can find blocks like this - look out for big wooden bowls in IKEA or even on EBAY. You can also rent blocks from milliners and make a copy for yourself using my method. I would describe the size I made/am wearing "medium". You are in very good company with your small head! Mine is a 54cm - we should start a small head's club. Keep the questions coming - I love replying!

Hi Ilona, do pins work well with these foams?
@ByIlonaMillinery Жыл бұрын
Hello! Yes they do, you'll want to use fairly lonely ones though.

Hello! It is a little time consuming and complicated! If you've seen the part 1 video on this, I do mention trying this with a pre-mixed PU foam - perhaps this would be easier for you?

Can you block felt on a foam hat block? What are the pros and cons?
@ByIlonaMillinery2 жыл бұрын
Hello Rf Ck, yes absolutely! You can block anything on a foam block, just like on a wooden one. The pros of the foam block itself are that you can make it yourself and it is cheaper than a wooden one. The cons are that it is very lightweight which can make it difficult to block on, and also, it will fall apart rather quickly with continual use. My recommendation is always to use a wooden block if you can afford it. But if you are new to millinery and want a cheaper way to make only a few hats, try the DIY foam block.
