How to sew a muffin hat
« Wie man einen Hut näht | Hauptseite | To Do Liste »
Dear Sewing Friends!
First of all, I have to apologize for my bad english, but I won´t do time consuming reasearch for my private blog, so you will have to use your imagination, if anything sounds weird or crazy... it´s all about sewing and costuming!
Well, I haven´t written in english for a while (must have been December 06!) and now I try to give you a bit more input, because I have found so many inspiring websites about costuming in the US web, that I will try to give a little bit of reward to you.
Last week I was asked to show a friend of mine how I sewed my muffin hat: MUFFIN HAT. Well, to sew such a hat is easy as pie, but my friend lives 600 Kilometers from here and I thought it will be a lot more work to draw and explain the "how to" for her, a short video must be much better to show how to do it!
So my daughter made a little video and then she translated the important phrases into english and made subtitles for the film. So I can show the tutorial to everyone around the world. Too bad I had a sunburn that day, next time I will be better prepared for the "show" ;-)
Have fun with my little video and I hope after watching it, you will know : "How to sew a muffin hat".
Please note: The velvet I used was very cheap and soft, if you use a better quality, you dont need that interlining, ok? AND I use a german measuring tape, for american sewers I have converted the centimeters shown on my tape into inches.
I appreciate any feedback about how the video works for you, my email is shown at the end of the video.
For the records: I hope to do more videos like that. (After the next diet ;-) )
Hugs, Baerbel Born












I saw your post on RenaissanceFestival.com about this tutorial and I LOVE it!!! I've been sewing for YEARS and it's never ocurred to me to do two sets of gathering threads.
Thanks for the tips and keep it up!!!
