The next workshop is in San Francisco on Saturday, February 25th and Sunday, February 26th, 2012 both days. Register here: www.jasminzorlu.com Learn how to make an Art Deco style cloche, fedora, or cocktail hat that perfectly fits your style. Using steam and your fingers, manipulate a pre-formed fur felt cone on a standard wooden hat form and then hand-stitch it. This class is perfect for beginners who have no experience sewing.

@sugarcomatose All the folds need to stitched in place with invisible stitching, this is what I teach in the workshop. If you don’t stitch them in place, then they are eventually going to come? out and the hat will distort and grow. You also need to put a grosgrain headsize ribbon in the inside to protect the hat from sweat! Thanks for asking!
can I make my own hoods needle felting into a polystyrene hat mould? love the? video! I am inspired to try….
Yay!? Jasmin rocks!
I love? this! I’m curious though, what part of the hat requires sewing?
Hello!? these are great where where can can you find an affordable wood mold? and I live in france. @punkylily
@luvbyrd60 I use fur felt hoods because they’re so malleable and easy to work with but I’m going to transition over to wool felt because I’m? allergic to the rabbit fur in the fur felt hoods. Thanks for asking!
You can order them from Leko Hats, ManHatCo, or World Hat Company. ?
where do you? get your hoods from
great tutorial.? Do you use wool felt hoods or fur felt hoods?
@bigclockface Sorry I don’t know that there’s anything you can? do to save it. It’s happened to me as well.
Fantastic tutorial, can I ask what happens if you use too much stiffener and it bleeds through can you do anything to save it/reuse the? felt?
@gypsychela86
You can use? a preformed felt hood to make a fedora with a short brim with this same technique. If you want a wide brim, then yes, you need to block two separate parts.
Pretty cool. I’d like? to make a fedora for my boyfriend. Any tips? It seems like you need to attach to separate pieces.
Love her? xx
