DIY Sewing Stories: Making a Witchy Hat for your Dolls

It's spooky time at the Fig&Me manor and we are always up to no good so we had to make a simple, but charming, Witchy hat for Miss Greta. A little bit of news first: October 30th and 31st you can find all my Etsy dollmaking patterns on sale. If you want to try your hands at learning some dollmaking techniques, please visit the store: http://figandme.etsy.com #dollmaking #naturalfiberartdoll #sewingfordolls I used cotton pinwhale corduroy and recommend you use this type of fabric or something of similar girth. Quilting cottons won't have the required "oomph" so look for lightweight canvas, a midweight linen and most definitely wool. If you are bound and determined to use very lightweight fabrics then I recommend you interface both the brim and top of the hat.

You will have two pieces: a circular brim and the point top. Measurements to take from your doll are: 1. Head circumference 2. Height of hat 3. Brim depth or length Now, you draw a line that measures the height of the hat. This is your centre front of the top hat. The bottom edge of this "triangular" shape will be rounded and it measures as long as the doll's head circumference + seam allowance. Then you joined the ends to the highest part (the first line you dew). Make it in paper first so you can test out the shape. Then draw an inner circle that matches the exact length of the doll's head circumference + seam allowance that you used for the top of the hat. Then using the brim "depth" add this measurement all around the inner circle, creating a much wider, larger circle. Then add a seam allowance to that. Cut the pattern pieced on paper and test them out on your doll and if all looks good, off you go! Thank you for watching!
