![Sewing through the Decades Series + Patreon
Is it obvious I was super nervous to film this? Because I was! And Im really nervous to publish this, too. https://www.patreon.com/angelacostumery
Im really excited about this series - Ive enjoyed working on it *so much* so far and I hope you guys will enjoy it too.
But Im really nervous about the future of this channel and creating a Patreon. I hope you guys know this is a last resort for me - if I could make enough from ad revenue and sponsorships to cover the material costs and justify the hours that go into filming and editing videos, I would NEVER ask for additional funding.
But unfortunately that isnt the case.
Im also aware that Im not exactly struggling for money, Ive been very lucky in that way. But that doesnt mean that my time isnt valuable, or that I can justify spending so much of it on something that loses money.
I wish I didnt have to talk about this, and I wish it wasnt a factor in making videos...but it is :(
Regardless of what happens, I will be posting monthly Sewing through the Decades videos which will be avalible publicly.
If this goes well I can speed up that timeline and extend/expand this project in the future. If it doesnt, then I will probably have to go back to my upload schedule of not uploading very often at all.
ALSO I really hope it goes without saying, but take care of yourself first and your financial situation!! I know not everyone is in a position to pledge and that is completely fine! You being okay matters to me way more than a pledge. So please dont feel pressured to contribute if you cant or if it would negatively impact you in any way.

![Hat & Headpiece Collection
HAPPY HAT-OWEEN! I spent many hours filming and editing this just to make that pun. If you don’t like awkward posing you may not enjoy this video - but if you like pretty hats you’ll be in heaven!
I wanted to share relevant links for each piece, but that made the description box WAY too cluttered. For additional information and relevant links about every piece please check out this tumblr post:

As said in the video, all [except for the straw hat] pieces in this video were drafted and made entirely by me! I mostly use heavy weight interfacing and wire, with buckram for thinner brims. I generally aim to achieve historically accurate shapes, though the materials I choose and construction methods aren’t always as accurate!
I’m self taught when it comes to making hats - it’s just something I figured out over time. I WILL make a tutorial eventually, hopefully within the next few months but it kind of depends!
Re: Combs. I use plastic combs to secure most of my hats since I don’t get along well with hat pins - I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong, but they always seem useless to me! The combs are usually pinned in so I can remove them and secure them in a more historically accurate way later on (if I ever figure out how).
If you see any mysterious safety pins in the brim they are for storage (so I can hang the hats on hooks) I missed a few and only noticed when editing ;_;
MOST of the dates on title plates were taken from the book “Women’s Hats, Headdresses, and Hairstyles” - they are approximate.
