    Loooove you called out the haters!! That was priceless 😂 The 20 holes will never get old, keep saying it, also-‘you can do it.’ I think people don’t hear this enough. I can’t count the people who’ve seen my work and said, “oh I could never do that.” They’re clearly those who’ve never heard it. So I tell them, too.

    This is very cool. I think I saw this pattern used for some steampunk hats on Etsy but the hat band was modified and leather pouches were added. I spy a pretty doggy at 27:22. LOL. I think I would want to add a wider hat band and a buckle (even if the buckle is only decorative). Sort of like the buckles on hat bands on "pilgrim" hats. I wish I could give this more than one like.

    Some comments as i work through this tutorial-- in the beginning, when we glue the 2 pieces of the brim together, it would be helpful to state not to glue the inside edges together as the side leather will be sandwiched between the inside edges of the brim. this will eliminate the need to pull apart the glued edges, possibly stretching the contrast leather as we stitch through. Also the wrap of the brim, in my pattern, was not long enough to completely cover the outside of the brim, resulting in a gap in the edge wrap. I had to recut a edge piece longer than the one in the pattern and restitch the edge piece on, you should note that it better to cut the edge strip longer than shown to climate this situation. and yes, i printed it according to your directions.

    Hey Tony…. Love your stuff!!! Working on the top hat now. Is there a way to stitch without using one continuous thread….can you work in segments so you’re not trying to control 2 threads that are each 5-6 feet long ? I’m relatively new and haven’t found a way to stop with one thread and then continue with another.
