Re-transformig a plantation...

[Al_Ojeda]

I did get a cheap panama for women, that I trasformed into a plantation cause the brim was really wide... after seeing the final result I realized that never I will wear that hat so, I decide to re-transform again into a more weareable fedora, but I had to cut the brim [huh] and did the Binding. here is the result.... this is my first hat that I have binding.
I used a Styrofoam block with my version of c-crowm I will post the procces how I made in a video in the next post...

I don't know about the USA or elsewhere but the op shops Down Under have lotsa women's Panamas that are begging to have an "Ojeda" done to them!

You really shaped that up nicely

Gees Mr Ojeda you really did a nice job on the form of that hat. I'd be interested to know how you manged to get the crown done so well.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed that you have already demonstrated how you did it. Thanks for that.

what a transformation

what did you use to bind the brim? I've thought about trimming a straw brim before, but never was sure how to bind it.

great work

I just posted a response to your video, but here I go again: I'm stunned by your dexterity (my hand-eye-coordination leaves a lot to be desired, oh my!) - and your courage, too! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
