ed two hats the many faces of a mad hatter for which i won fourth place and a second hat mad and hungry which didn t place but it was my favorite submission my winning hat was actually a four in one hat that could be worn four different ways it could be worn brim only crown only brim and crown together or brim with an origami fan attached the fan fits under the crown when not in use finally i rescued another millinery sewing machine it s funny how some pass up diamonds in the rough or pass up something or someone because of a description or outside appearance well once again i picked up another millinery sewing machine for cheap cheap one of my straw braid sewing machines cost under 70 and this my latest machine a brim edge binding machine cost lest than 80 both not including postage when the painted machines come up for auction some don t even have a braid foot but sell for hundreds anyway along with this machine came a metal lift that lifts the machine up and off a table to accommodate the depth and size of a hat now i use a bowl on my treadle sewing machine table to lift my straw machine up so this lift will come in handy for my other machines well i cleaned my newly rescued gem up and i made some minor adjustments to her after which she sewed like a trooper i ve added these photos to show before and after the preliminary cleanup after she was cleaned and a few adjustments made she produced beautiful stitches i ll make other adjustments and even may replace the foot and even interchange the binders since i have a number of binders that came from the auction i won please note that i m not a sewing machine expert but i can read and these are mechanical machines therefore you will be able to do most fixes if you really want to and if you take a little time to learn a little general mechanical sewing machine information here is a little advice for those interested in purchasing one of these machines and refurbishing it when considering a purchase study the machine or machine images and try to determine what is missing from it if something is missing try to determine if the missing part is something that does not impact the usability of the machine for example a little less than half of the base of this machine was missing but the seller pointed out that it could be mounted onto it s lift by showing an image of the machine screwed into it additionally this was a straw braid machine originally and i noticed that the spring wire was missing from the tipper since it was not being used as a braid machine this was not important to me in the images of the straw braid machine that i first mentioned above there was a broken part on the front of the machine again this would not impact the machine s usability however since i had bid on and won an auction containing hundreds of attachments and parts for these machines i had that particular part and i replaced it lastly these machines if used often are or at least should be oiled daily this means that if not in use for a long time the wheel will lock up i guess this is the cause from dirt and oil usually i d ask if the wheel was locked on the machine but because i ve been successful at unlocking them this is of no big concern to me any longer what s sad is when people purchase machines that are strictly parts machines because they have mot taken the time to research them or the seller is unfamiliar with the machine and describes it as being complete i have a pinterest board that has images of these machines so take a look and be informed you may also want to visit the smithsonian museum online they have a sewing machine section that has better images and they also have parts manuals for the domestic versions the smithsonian caries users manuals including manuals

millinery blog best millinery competition essie edwards hatstruck millinery competition lee duncan milliner millinery competition prize shurie southcott sunday august 10 2014 another little competition deadline poke competition prize package peak more buckram form discussion this evening i thought i would continue the discussion from last evening competition deadline continued work on my buckram top hat form for the competition i will be entering and finally give you a peak at another prize for this competition there s not too much i have to say about the competition deadline except to remind everyone to read the rules and regulations my last blog post will lead you to other posts and all will keep you up to speed i wish all of you well you ve seen two prizes i plan to award a five section hat block the one i don t like and a strange vintage department store hat display well here is another prize eight capeline cartwheel wide brim straws one vintage straw hood cello straw braid and a hat stretcher why the hat stretcher headsize collars lifts when we measure our head size headsize and get a measure of let s say 22 1 2 inches baby size compared to my headsize for the purpose of making a hat upon completion of the hat we will have added material s sewing thread sweatband etc well everything we added to the inside of that hat even the thread or a knot takes away from the headsize of the hat so the hat stretcher serves two purposes 1 to return the hat back to it s intended size and 2 to render a perfect sweatband what i ve noticed is that when some sweatbands are sewn in there is rippling in the band the hat stretcher will eliminate this rippling so what if you have a small say cocktail hat that you ve blocked over a form and you are having sweatband issues force the hat back onto the block and let it set for a while sometimes you may want to add a little steam to the area but this is not necessary most of the time what do you do if you ve made a flat pattern hat and you are having issues make a head size lift collar the lift will also work if you don t have a stretcher for a regular size hat just force the hat over the appropriate lift size so it s always a good idea to have various sizes of headsize lifts in your millinery tool box remember to pay attention to small details such as a rippling sweatband etc in order that your hat is seen as a professional piece a little more work on my top hat remember last evening that i was draping damp buckram bias strips over a candle holder that i was using as a makeshift hat block for my top hat form well after it dried i gave it a nice hot dry ironing and it came out almost perfect what the dry without steam ironing did was to remove some of the bumpiness from the frame i will still mull pad it with another material in order to give the finished hat a richer appearance the importance of the bias draping without pinning is that this process opens up an opportunity to use any object that you come across to use as a hat block no matter what its shape is please view my post on the vase hat to see how i completed the vase form i ve refined the method more since this post and i no longer remove the entire top of the form anyway once again good luck on the competition posted by lee duncan is hatstruck at 1 08 am 0 comments labels best millinery blog cello straw hat form hat stretcher
