The Daryn Cloche Hat sewing pattern by ElsewhenMillinery is an extremely satisfying sewing project! Vintage cloche hats are one of the most recognizable symbols of 1920s fashion — elegant, close-fitting, and beautifully simple in silhouette. The word cloche means “bell” in French, and that’s exactly what these hats resemble: a smooth, bell-shaped crown that hugs the head and frames the face. The PDF pattern is available for instant download and can be printed on 8.5"x11" letter-sized paper (USA) or A4 paper (Europe). It includes pattern shapes for all sizes, detailed illustrations for each project step, sewing tips, required notions, fabric recommendations, size measurement instructions, links to a printable measuring tape, translations of hat sewing terminology into several languages, and coupons for your next Elsewhen purchase. The sewing and millinery techniques in this pattern will be beneficial for future sewing endeavors and enhance your overall understanding of hat construction.
SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate - You should have a good understanding of your sewing machine and the characteristics of various fabrics.
HAT SIZES:
19"-25" circumference measured around the head above the ear (from child to adult)
RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
Suggests using a medium-thickness fabric such as velvet, wool suiting, corduroy, or faux fur with a short nap. If you prefer to use a thin or stretchy fabric, refer to the techniques on page 5 to thicken or stabilize it. For the hat lining, polyester lining or pre-washed cotton are ideal choices. The trim fabric can match the hat or be a contrasting fabric, depending on your preference. The black hat featured on the cover is crafted from soft, black velveteen velour, while the other hats are made from faux suede with various trim fabrics.
