Based on the pattern from this address: http://wkdesigner.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/cloche-hat/
yet unadorned, this basic pattern for cloche hats is fairly easy to figure out and to adjust to your tastes, and, well, if you do follow Downton Abbey, it might just be your first step into vintage sewing… As soon as I learn to do it properly, I will try to make a tutorial about this one. That’s why I tried to crame up as much pictures as I could.
ANYTHING GOES!!! But mine are made of suiting wool.

This is wonderful! I had downloaded the pattern last year but I had never seen it done by any other than the model piece. Now I think I will have a go at it.

Thank you ! The only thing that was missing from the original pattern were pictures of people who actually tried it. I hope my “not so good picture” will help people figuring it out! I would really much enjoy seeing what you make !
