When I started this Millinery journey, I never quite understood how much there was the learn… I’m glad though because it keeps me intrigued..
Since I have no one to ask questions and I’m self taught (thank you to the masterminds on YouTube), I’m hoping someone can guide me on blocking hats.
Is there a rule for blocking hats when you need to incorporate a leather sweat band. For example, my head size is a 22 1/2”. I have a 22 1/2” hat block that I bought but once I hand sew a sweatband in the thing is too tight! So then I purchased a 22.83” hat block and it’s still to tight.
How much room do I need to leave in order to put a sweatband in and it fit my head.
Hopefully someone can help me out because I’m feeling discouraged and would love to make myself a hat.
