This is what I want to make. The photo is from Vogue 8869, a men's hat pattern with several styles. Patterns are expensive. Why do I need a pattern? Especially when I have the Internet. I google free fedora hat patterns and get lots of semi-useful hits. One is a pattern for a fedora to fit a doll. Hey, maybe it can be enlarged! At a minimum I can see the shape of the pattern pieces that form the fedora look. So, here's the pattern and a little quick-and-dirty hat I made from it. Pathetic hat! But recognizably a fedora. And I have seen just what I want to see -- what shapes in a flat pattern form those classic curves.
I'll study this for a while. Already I can see several differences between the photo and the paper model. For one thing, the brim pattern piece needs to be more curved so the resulting brim will flare out more, as it does in the photo. See, how it is different in the front?
Making these kind of 2-D to 3-D comparisons is an interesting brain shift. I used to be much better at it, but I think I'm just out of practice. It is a natural way of thinking for me, and exercises like this really intrigue me. Will I ever actually make a wearable hat? You'll just have to --
Stay tuned...

Concordo, encontramos muitos moldes na internet, mas do papel para o real, há muitas diferenças. E ficamos pensando, "o que fiz errado", e na verdade é o molde que falta informação, a curva está errada, as medidas não batem... Se for usar molde de terceiros, faça um teste antes de fazer a peça, evita muito desperdício.
ReplyDeleteAgree, we found a lot of templates on the Internet, but from paper to real there are a lot of differences. And we're left thinking, "what did I do wrong", and actually it's the template that lacks information, the curve is wrong, the measurements don't match... If you're going to use a third-party template, do a test before making the piece, avoid too much waste.
