Love your vid on hat making. I need to make a fedora for my son's concert. Can you show me how?

HOW DO THEY MAKE THE AVIATOR FLIGHT CAPS!?

HATS! THREADBANGER, i would really want to know how to make those wool hats that are kinda big and are used to cover your hair when its in a bun. i hope you guys know what i mean, it kinda looks like its knitted or something like that. i really want to make one myself.

I as well as everyone else that has left a comment, love hats. I am big into Pinup and do some modeling. It is hard to find someof the things I want or like for shoot and it really helps. Thank you for this. I grew up poor so I ahve been doing DIY for as long as I can remember.

So Kool . . . love your site . . . . love you hats. Rose

Hey! I just discovered you all on accident on youtube and found my way to your site. I LOVE this video, the hat is AMAZING. I personnally have been sewing off and on for about 2 years and was beginning to get frustrated to the point of stopping again but you both are now my inspiration! Thank you! (oh, and do you all have any videos on making sleeves for fitted shirts!? i have horrible experience with those) much love!

This was a great Video!!! Hurray for Hats. :)

I am looking for a railroad engineers hat pattern. Can anyone help please? Thanks, regards JohnT.

love the hat: can't wait to try it out

Another great episode! I want to make a hat, but I don't know what kind of fabric I need. Did Bernda say what kind of fabric she was using??

After seeing your shrug video, I march straight to the thrift store and bought a fuzzy peach sweater with a v neck for my 10-year-old daughter. With a slight variation I followed your video instructions and it turned out great. I'm now hunting for a sweater that will work for me. Thank you!

CoOL hats! You guys are GRRReat! GRacias humblebumble bee!I have been googling how to make those hats all day!

how did Corrine make or find that brown/white hood thing she wore in the Hair + DIY Wishes vid. I gotta make one I private messaged you Corrine (sorry) and hit the contacted button so I hope you get this and help me out. P.S. I better not be the only one to say this but Corrine your hot........!

BTW-Corinne, the hat looks stellar on you, boo. I'm liking your custom hats for a wedding idea too. Let's run with that.

LOVE the hats. I met you at Atomic and your mustard bumblebee hat is perfection.

THREAD HEADS UNITE! you guys should get a sweet theme song and indy mogel brought me here so thank them :) DIY OR DIE.

i just found this website and absolutely luv it! keep makin videos! WHOO-HOO!

i'm soo making one like, right now. it will totally match my 'June Cleaver' dress!

Hey, I love your show, you totally got me thinking about making and recycling my old clothes. The kids in my gr. 11/12 film and video class seem to enjoy your show as well. We all stop and sometimes watch your diy tuesdays.

hi!!! i absolutly love your page. I am from Chile so it's a pretty long reach you have! lol Any way, keep up with the good work, by! Mapi.

u guys this video rocked. hey corrine, i loved the shirt cape u were wearing in this video. how did u make it?

i love that hat thanks for show me the how to do that lol

Great show this week! Can you have more episodes with projects that come from old unwanted things. Like that purse made from thrift store clothes. Anything that will be cheap because I'm oh so broke. :( Also, I just got my first apartment! So what about some house fashion stuff?!

Ahh! Now show us how to make that cute shrug you're wearing Corinne!

Hey HumbleBumbleB...just wanted to say thanks again for the great tutorial and also for answering questions and being part of our little interactive DIY community. I know everyone really appreciates it ! :) -Rob

Whats bias tape,..how does it work? AHAHAAHAHAAAAAAH

Loved the hat tutorial and the cuff tutorial from a little while back. Accessories are cool and manageable projects. Any experience with melting plastic bags to make stuff? Oh, and thanks Corrine for the musical interludes.

Dear ThreadBangers, I am not talented in the sewing department. I still adore you and your show. My daughter and I have a company: Fashion Outlaws. We crochet hats! Our design work is based in natural fiber yarns. We adorn with recycled toys, ribbons and organic found objects. While our work is very different than what you do, I want you to know that we gather much inspiration from the TreadBangers' community. As hosts, you are both oh so sweet. Thank you. Regarding STICH, in Austin, Texas, I was there. How come I missed Y'all? Sheva

I think the Library changes, I'm going to see if I can do something with the local teen center but they are kind of lame...

does this site look like its getting more popular or is it just me?could you guys show what i could do with old hoodies that dont fit that well anymore, and something to do with socks just for the hell of it too ^.^

Hey Rob and Corriene and other Threadbanger members, in this epi. someone asked where you could get free patterns and you answered by pointing up but, where's the Burda Style Banner?!?!?!?

Hey Rob and Corinne....I work at a youth drop in centre and i do loads of DIY and crafts with the teens but i need some new cool ideas ....no sew would be good .... the kids love making stuff they can use and i try and recycle stuff when i can please help .... love the show ...yours from the great white north...Gwenren

Dear thread Banger. I absolutely love your show and I think it would be awesome if you could give a tutorial on how to make a stuffed bear or animal. I have a lot of friends that are girls and I'm out of money for any type of gift for Christmas for all of them. Can you help me out?

WOW! I can't believe I made it on Threadbanger! I'm sooo happy! I LOVE the books, thank you guys so much for sending them to me. I've been reading them everyday and I spent the weekend doing some thrifting to find materials for the projects in the books. THANK YOU! Rob, Corinne and everyone who makes ThreadHeads happen are amazing. I love the show, I've been watching since episode one, and I'll keep watching! Thanks again!

I love you guys!! I used to do all this kind of stuff in high school...then got married had some kids (LOVE all that stuff) but felt that maybe I had to "grow-up" and I was really missing expressing myself by putting my twist on what I wear!! thanks for bringing out some of the old me!!

Hey Threadbangers! Im a long time watcher, first time Poster. And I have to say I love every episode you guys do! It inspires me so much to make kool DIY things..I havent made anything fantastic yet..but with a lil practice...money...and staying tuned to threadbangers..I hope I will. But I have a request? I have some pretty awesome buckle biker looking boots that I ADORE! but really can only wear them with skirts because I cant think of any other way that would be stylish and show them off? so if you have any ideas on other ideas? OR have any ideas for my skirt(because its getting colder and I still wanna wear the skirt and boot combo) Id love to hear it! Thanks guys and keep on rockin =]

Love the Hats! I am making one right away for my Murder Mystery dinner party. Thanks!

More hats please!! I have a weird shaped head but LOVE to wear hats but I can never find any that fit the way I like...Solution: MAKE them!!! Problem: Don't have a clue how!!

I Just found the Link to you guys and Im so happy I found you!! Im from latinameríca, Colombia and Im always sewing things.....I will check you all the time!!

Where can I find cool screen prints?

0o0oh Hats neato, but heres my question can i mod that pattern humblebumbleB gives us to make a more peter pan hat and where to find such felt like fabric. it looks like the only felt i find is stiff as a board.

I have a whole lot of Volleyball and basketball t-shirts that are just loose fitting and seem to only be there to wear on my dress down days. What can I do to alter them so I'll like wearing them?

u make SUCH a cute couple!!!!

r u 2 dating ?

Hey! Well i just caught myself up on all of your videos, i just kind of found out about you guys on the web. I think it would be way cool if you could have a couple more tutorials on here for people who dont have a whole lot of sewing tools. But all of these are AWESOME. peace.

hey you guys what happened to fashio enemy?

wow. Those hats are so awsome! I had yours in my head for days after that last episode! OH how great it would be if alot of girls started wearing hats- especially when they look so pin up and gorgeous as you- well you both are yum... i cant make a hat too well w/o a machine to get tightness and great lines but maybe ill go buy one from that lady on the links ! Thanks so much for this site! I m laid off and a stoner so this is great lol

What happened to the links that you used to use? I always forget to write down the cool links that you have in the videos until long after the video is done and gone. I've noticed that those are no longer posted on the site! Please bring those back! Oh and what happened to fashion enemy? Good stuff...

I think I'm in love. Thanks for being amazing! I have a question- how do you make flares into skinny jeans?

much appreciated

can you do something totally about the winter season?? its getting cold

I AM A GUY BUT I LOVE THAT HAT!!!!! (Screaming like a little girl) AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Hey threadheads, I'm trying to start my own business with purses, remixed clothing, and some of my artwork peices. I've got a section at a hardware store to advertise my stuff (cuz it's for free) but obviously I've not had much sucess. I need some inspiration on how to get my name out there and get small town people interested in some phsychadelic clothing. got any ideas?

helooo... i am in dire need of a hat... but have none... and do not look good in baseball caps... so... i want to learn how to make a fedora type hat... can you do it???

I am so glad I got to meet you two! thanks for coming to my town. badass hat, by the way...

I enjoyed the episode very much. They look easy enough to make. Do you plan on doing anything with things to make for your room because mine could use some new curtains or something! Let me know!!!!

Thank you so much for the epi-sode!! Notes taken...oh by the way I am know clicking on the banner above!!

I'd really like to learn how to make some awesome ninja gear :D

rEALLY REALLY.

I love you guys! totally addicted!

ooo! i went right over to humblebumbleb.com and bought up two cutie hats for me and a friend. and it's so fun to know i can make one for myself too :) thanks!

Im the kind of person that just ignores fashion and wears just what i have. But when i saw this site i just said "wow". I like to sew and i LOVE hats, so im going to get my old Signer machine working!! Thanks for the wonderfull inspiration!

so i saw a video of yours on yahoo last week[ish], and pretty much got hooked. you guys are awesome...and...so creative. this is pretty much my new favorite website [it even beats myspace. haha, thats totally saying something]

i love hats! really, im addicted to them. thanks for the tute!!

ok so the last post I made was kinda dumb but I was stoked to go to burda just one problem..... There aren't any patterns for mens clothing. I am pretty sure that my friends and bandmates would have a good time laughing at me though. So my question is do you know of anywhere like burda but with patterns for things that I could wear?

great episode! I'm looking forward to the next one. it's getting cold here in Israel ;-)

I had some material from my sister-in-law because she knew I enjoy sewing and she didn't want it anymore. Thans for the great idea with the hat because I know she'll just love it!!!

well you said to leave a comment so here it is...... ps nice product placement (the mug)

Cool Hat Episode. BUT what about hats for guys? Fedoras, boaters, army caps, top hats, ect.?

Wow, I love the hat, its really great and easy to make! I actually made a corsette top for my halloween costume. I was a slutty devil!!

WOW i just found you guys and all i have to say is "where have you guy been all my life" i have always wanted to do stuff on my own but never known how.....but now i do

Awesome loved the show. i just don't understand how you would sew on the bias tape exactly on the inside of hem of the hat?

Great show as usual! (Actually... It gets better every time, so never mind.) Hey, I was wondering if you guys can think of anyways to make a scarf... a beanie (with cap. idk what's it's called but anyway,) and pair of arm warmers. Can you do that? Thanks, ME.

Hats rock!!!

Pretty please, can you have a show telling one how to make patterns? because I am SO lost. it would be wicked awesome if i could make patterns

Awe.. you guys were really cute this week... Anyways, I have a question and I'm here right now, so this is where I'm going to say it. I'm in the process of attempting to get together a DIY/Fashion/Stencil/Costume group in my area (Vermont, more specifically near burlington, where you guys should totally come visit, or better yet come up to the art hop next fall, anyways...) I think it would be great if you could do something on small DIY groups (if there are any) or give us advise on starting one (if there aren't any). Personly, the advise that I need is on finding a space that won't charge us to use it a few times a month. Any ideas? Yeah. that's my thought for the day. I have things to sew so I must go.

hey, now i have to go out and buy tons of felt i love that hand

My sewing machine broke could you guys do a tutorial on something cool that doesn't require a hand-cramping amount of stitching?? PWEASE!!! Your videos rock!!

Can we get a tutorial for making railroad engineer hats?

I love hats I love hats I love hats! Hey, I just glanced over to the recent episodes bar and realize that you guys do too!!! Every picture both of you are in a hat!

i have to agree with funkyrapmonkey put more guy stuff on plz

PLZ PLZ PLZ put some more stuff for guys on here like maybe a whole episode or two for guys and the same for girls???? I need more stuff to im a guy bored.Give me something to do plz

really awesome tutorial for hats.

Hey guys, Just gotta say I love your show! Do you guys have any advice on how to get people sewing? I always invite my friends to sew, and they all love it... so how can I get alot more people into it? It's really sad to see all the local sewing stores shutting down and even big stores like Joanns can't stay in buisness. How can I help keep sewing alive? Keep on stitchin', Katika

you guys really are the best. There are plenty of places that are either boring, confusing and worst of all only show you how to make ugly things. You're interesting and your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. The very best of all is that you show how to do really cool things.

thanks humblebumbleb for sharing your talent. your web site is really nice. peace

I loooooooooooooove the episode on hats!!!!! I WANT MORE!(please?) That hat is so cute i can not wait to make it! you should do an episode on accessories! Now that would be sick nasty! thank you!

Thank you so much for covering the hat how-to!! I took a hat-making class a few years ago, and then lost interest (and time). But this has me wanting to break out the trims and fabrics I've got stashed perfect for a hat!! You guys rock! :)

how awesome , brenda and her hats are tooo sweet! i cant believe we now know how to make our own! how cool!

you know what would be great? Threadbanger, the musical episode. Think about it lol Love

Thanks for all the positive comments!!!! Please, please, please send me pictures of your hats and I'll post them on my site!!!! Star2d2@hotmail.com

I'm a hat person. I gotta have hats. I gotta start making hats. I'm soooooooo on this. You guys are the coolest. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Now off to the store to damage my credit card...or is ther a source for recycle-able felt??? Maybe?

I'm so excited to make one of those hats. And I like the craft fair shows, but I like learning to make things as well.

since I first saw you on The Rachel Ray show I have been doing DIY. I love it, I didn't ever think of making things for myself and now that you guys are here and have sooo many cool ideas it has really helped to get my mind thinking!! Everyday just about I find myself looking and thinking about clothes and things in a diff way. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks to you guys and thanks to all the cool kats that post on the form for giving me ideas of what to do next.

loving the singing corinne, you guys are fantabulously awesome.

Thanks, HumbleBumbleB!!! Best! Tutorial! Evar! I've got some red felt at home, and I know what to do with it now! :0) YES!!!!!! This seriously rocks. I also predict lots of yoyoage. Good "Audience Q&A time," R&C! I like it.

Thanks so much for doing the episode on hats! I love making hats, but until this episode I had to stick to knitted and crocheted hats. I love knitted and crocheted hats, but there's only a few different styles that I like...now I can attempt to make some other styles that I've loved so much but wasn't sure how to make.
