How to draft a Witch Hat
I love makeing witch hats. They are pretty simple to draft, and don't use too much fabric. so here are my instructions:
A = height of hat
B = circumference of head + 1 inch
C = radius of head (calculate from B)
D = C + width of brim
For the cone draw a circle with radius A, and measure B along outside.
For the brim make 2 circles with the same center point, with radius C and D.
Cut 1 of cone, and 2 of brim. I also like to line the cone with felt, and use canvas or something heavy to interface the brim.
Just inside the seam allowance of the brim, zigzag over a wire to help give the brim shape.
Right sides together, sew the side of the cone and the 2 brim pieces along the outside. Then sew the cone to the center of one of the brim pieces and flip it inside out. Then sew the bottom brim to the top in the center.
might as well plug my video on this post too, since it gives more sewing directions (the drafting is included in it too)
Havenβt picked up a paintbrush in literally 3 years this beautiful show has single-handedly cured my art block
