Make Fedora/Western Style Hat with Wired Structure AT HOME / Adopted From Buckram Hat Technique

I tried to make a hat with wired structure using tools and materials you can find easily. I used Pellon sew-in interfacing I found at Joann instead of millinery double buckram, which is traditionally used for hat-making but hard to find (for a reasonable price and good quality).
(*single buckram technique is more about wetting the sized buckram and shaping it on a wooden mold, but this video is inspired more from stiff structured top-hats that use double buckram)
This is not a quick DIY, but if you are patient, the result is very satisfying :)

This is exactly what I've been looking for! No hat block or stretching felt, just some good sewing patterns to make a decent hat. I have been wanting to repurpose one of late granfather's old corduroy jackets to make a fedora, since it doesn't much fit me anymore and is too personal to give up, so I am so glad to have found this tutorial. Thank you!

[@SachisStudio]

Sounds like a great project! I’m glad you found my video useful! ☺️🌹

[@maryroudebush5240]

I think you did a wonderful job making your fedora. Patients is well needed, it’s not a project you want to rush to get done.

[@SachisStudio]

Thank you so much❣️ It was a time-consuming project but I had fun working on it! ☺️

[@lisaharmon5619]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! I have been looking for a hat pattern that was easy to understand the directions and didn't use a mold! Thank you and Blessings to All!

[@SachisStudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alexandersantala2895]

love how you don't lose good fabric by taking those pieces from center like at least 50 1 of two does.

[@motherofabundance7742]

This is fantastic! I've asked so many people how I can make a fedora with bamboo felt and was told over and over it couldn't be done. It's great to know that I can use the bamboo felt over a buckram or Pellon template to create a beautiful felt hat. You're a star, @SachisStudio xxx

[@SachisStudio]

yay! I’m so happy to hear my video was useful to you! ☺️💕

Very nice. Love the color.

[@SachisStudio]

Thank you for your comments ❣️

[@owenmartel]

The hat looks terrific. If I understand correctly, did you put wire around the inside edge of the brim and the top of the crown because you have seen this done on other hats, or was this an innovation of your own?

[@SachisStudio]

Thank you so much! This is my modified technique from vintage hat making, which I learned in college ( I learned theatre costuming) ! Traditional hat making uses buckram fabric and wire in a similar way.

@@SachisStudio it's the perfect colors to look that way again thanks for the pattern

[@susansullins7929]

Thank you for this thoughtful tutorial. Is it necessary to use wire on 2 locations that are sewn together? (For instance, the inside of the brim and the bottom of the crown)

[@SachisStudio]

Thank you for watching! It’s not necessary, but it makes the connection between the brim and the crown easier & stronger :)

[@susansullins7929]

@@SachisStudio Thanks for your speedy reply. I'm connecting the brim and the top now, with a wire on each, and can't imagine doing without the double wires.

Thank you one question please is the sew in interfacing all the same

[@SachisStudio]

sew-in interfacings come in various weights, and the one I used in the video is especially heavy weight :)

This is great! Could you do some fashionable hats from the 1920s-1950s?

Can u redo the fedora hat without showing the lines or seam??????

[@SachisStudio]

For a seamless fedora, you would need a different type of method that uses a hat steamer, hat blocks and felt hoods, which I don’t have!

Please I have questions to ask if some head is 22 how will u cut the inside the horizontal an vertical I need help on this

type in “ inch to cm” in search and you’ll get a conversion tool!
