![Pillbox Hat Tutorial
How to make a cute little (or large!) pillbox hat!
I think most of the tools mentioned in this video are self explanatory, but here is a bit more info on some of them!
✩Heavy duty thread: the one featured in this video is by Coats & Clarks, and called Extra Strong. Ive NEVER had this thread break on me, its great and not too expensive ($2 a spool) but isnt required for this project. It just makes it easier.
✩Wire: I was using 18 gauge picture hanging wire - but the wires purpose doesnt matter, as long as it is thin enough to be bendable and strong enough to hold its shape. Id personally recommend galvanized steel wire.
✩Interfacing : The interfacing used is by pellon, here is a direct link:
http://www.joann.com/pellon-stabilizer-interfacing-by-the-yard/1261502.html#pmax=10&pmin=5&start=1
It feels like felt but is much stiffer. You can get the type with or without fusible webbing; it doesnt matter that much.
✩Buckram: I dont like buckram very much since it is more prone to breaking, the thread catches on it constantly, and its overall much more difficult to work with. If you have to use it I recommend binding the edges with ribbon, so even if the buckram breaks there is still something supporting your stitches.
✩ MAKING SMALLER HATS ✩
As I said, this process can work for any size hat - even tiny doll hats. But you need to adjust the materials (and ease mentioned in the video) accordingly.
Material adjustments I recommend if your hat is smaller than 4 include:
✩Using buckram instead of interfacing - buckram is much thinner. If you are making a 2 hat or something very small this will give you a cleaner finish.
✩Using thinner wire. Look in the beading section of craft stores!
✩Stitching everything by hand. This will give you more control, which is crucial when working on a smaller area.

![Attempting to Upholster a Victorian Settee Set
Going a little outside my comfort zone with this project! My first attempt at working on furniture. It was a bit of an adventure and I filmed the whole process.
✩Things mentioned✩
Wood Stain (this is an affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063KFJHK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0063KFJHK&linkCode=as2&tag=angeclay04-20&linkId=5d3b1a5bd0242b62d2d91089c1e684ca

I was really pleased with both those products (though I dont have a lot to compare them to). I bought them myself from a local hardware store.
Buttons : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-50-Vintage-NOS-Waterbury-Company-Buttons-5-8-Stafford-Crest-w-shank/122681433541?hash=item1c90621dc5:g:Xj0AAOSwCY9ZqZhT
The velvet was from a shop that closed in the garment district. The gimp was from Daytona Trims in NYC.
As I said in the video, the couches themselves were from Lloyds Antiques which is on Long Island.
After filming this I discovered a mark on the bottom of the chair that says 1880 3 piece Settee Set, saved from destruction in 2002 so that is probably when the foam and beams were added!
Between the horsehair and molded tacks I feel pretty confident in saying these are truly from the victorian era. But if any historical furniture enthusiasts know more Id love to learn!
Im not sure where the tools were from, I just borrowed them from my dad! But the staples themselves were from Home Depot.
