Finished Steampunk Hat! (aka Hat Porn)

The completed hat frame, from the bottom. Most of the brim and the crown were reinforced with some Pellon.

Starting to cover the hat with some gray satin.


Close up of some of the stitching

The crown is covered!

The underneath of the brim, covered with a pleated piece of plaid taffeta.

The back of the brim (the un-reinforced section) will be turned up when I'm done.

The covered hat!

The covered hat with the brim flipped up
Layers of trim were added to the top brim -- silver lace, black lace, black ribbon, red ribbon and some braid...

The same braid that was added the underneath of the brim to cover the edges of the satin

Please excuse the sideways photo, but here's the completed hat with lace, ribbon tails, a few fabric flowers and some feathers.

And a close up of the finished hat. The big flower has a button and a gear holding it in place
