Hats, Hats and more Hats! #1

While I was taking my Zbrush class (Which I need to update my process) I was taking a hat making class.

Here are my hats that I have made.

Here's the one I made in the class. I had a peacock Pendent that the pin in the back broke. I wanted attention, so I made a hat for it.

Right side.
Here you can see the silver pendent at the base.
And lots for Feathers.

Pendent close up.

Front Side.

Inside.
the brown fabric wire that's going around the hat is called a figure 8. What it dose is it keeps the hat on your head by pulling your hair thru the loop in the back.

Back side.

This Hat is my second hat. while I was shopping for fabric for my first hat I ran across this black and blue fabric that I absolutely love.

I also wanted to make a hat that was opposite to my first hat so I did just get used to one type of hat (and the first one was to big round and too small tall) so I went with a 5" hat. :D

Front Side.

Though it's hard to see here the ribbon going around the hat is larger on the left then the right. I thought it was a good balance against the BIG feathers.

Back side.

Other side.
FEATHERS!!!

Inside.

My third hat I wanted to make to match the outfit I'm making from scratch. I've made the cloak some time ago.

Yes that is an empty pool.

Now I've made a hat!
When I first started this hat it fit perfectlly on my head but after the thick layers of fabric and sowing the sides up its now too small, but if I put my hair up it looks just fine on my head. Plus this hat I want to tie everything together for my outfit that I'm making which is kind of Victorian Gothic aka it's a black Victorian style outfit.

Side.
The sides of the hat are sown up. I think it gives it that 1800's looks to it.

Other side.
More feathers!

This here is a hat pin. what you do is you take it and put it thru the hat itself and thru your hair and it stays in place. On New Years (Yay 2014!) I wore this hat and used the Hatpin like that and it worked great! It stayed on my head and I didn't have to worry abut it falling off.

Back.
The fabric hanging off the back is smiler to my corset that I had made. (Next thing to learn is to make a corset! (As soon as I find someone that's teaching it)).

Inside.
My dad is making me a good leather purse and the fabric inside it is the same as the inside of my hat.

I wanted to make a small hat for my forth hat. I measured my cat's head for fun but my poodle is the only one that will put up with my weirdness. It looks so cute on him! :D
I also wanted to go more steampunk-ish this time.
