Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

I've made patterns out of paper towels (don't enlarge the patterns, just use them the size they are) and make a few of each piece. Then try to put the hat together to look the way the picture does. Paper towels are softer and more malable than regular paper and will move more like fabric than copy

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Ahahaahaa...yes, translation is everything, isn't it?! Come to think of it, decorative doo-dads that are parsley shaped may look rather smashing! ;) I'm still confused on where to start though. How many of each to cut, what's on the fold, etc. I'm assuming the solid lines are cutting lines and the

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Yes, think of translating it to 'garnish'. It's the parsley on the hat?? LynnD On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 3:04 PM, Sybella wrote: > Wonderful!! I had a feeling "gasket" was wrong...LOL! Thank you sooo much! > > > On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 1:41 AM, Kate Bunting >wrote: > > > Sybella, > > A few corre

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Sybella, A few corrections to the translation: It definitely calls for grosgrain ribbon as the alternative to velvet. "Garniture" here means the trimming on the hat. (It may mean a gasket in another context!) "Pan" may refer to the two hanging ends of ribbon. "Pince" seems to mean a dart, if I inte

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Cute hat! This is probably one of the instructions that only make sense if you have the piece under your hands. The cap on the picture is striped, perhaps the pattern is easier to understand if you cut a mock up from striped material? Hanna At 08:18 12.02.2014, you wrote: Oh, fantastic!!! Wh

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Oh, fantastic!!! Wheew...glad that worked!! :D Yes, the hat portion of the text is just part of first column, ending with Lysiane. So, as daunting as all that text is, only a small portion pertains. One of my FB gal-pals tried to translate it but I have a feeling, even with a great translation, t

Re: [h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

It worked! Had to do a screen capture to get the text and the pic. I may not be that much help but it does seem like the directions are more clear than, say, in the 1890s. I have a bunch of French patterns from then and earlier and the so-called instructions are really only the barest of descrip

[h-cost] 1933 hat help - French magazine pattern

Normally, I can look at a pattern and have a clear idea of how flat pieces fit together and follow a shape, what is cut on the fold, how many to cut, etc. But with this one, I'm stumped. It's a tricky monkey puzzle! >From the looks of the pattern text, you cut one of each piece but I can't see how
