Lets talk about the Wizard-Hat first. Its a pattern by CholyKnight.

And basically its a Wizard Hat you can customize easily with different ears, bows and can choose from different crowns. You can have your normal pointy crown, curved crown (the one I used here) and a jagged crown.

The LLENN-Ears are obviously my own making.

Tbh making this hat was very enjoyable. Its a rather easy. Its not many pieces. Pretty sure I used up more time for the accessories than sewing together the brim and crown lol.

I LOVE the way Choly explained how to make a nice cute bow. I love them and might use that in other stuff as well. Such a cute bow.

All in all I really liked making this. I got to some interlining in the form of Decovil I and Decovil I Light. The Brims of both hats use the stronger thicker Decovil I and the other parts Decovil I Light.

I dunno if I needed the thicker one for the brims but the one on the LLENN Wizard stands really good. Though maybe 2 layers of Decovil I and 4 layers of fabric are quite a lot. But more than enough to hold those ears tbh.

The one thing I should do different next time is using the 24” size instead of the 23”. The 23” fits rather snugly… But for cosplay use its fine I guess, maybe some felt or something to soften that seam be nice…

For the underside of the brim I decided to have some fun and used some black and white flowery fabric I had lying around. Attaching the brim to the crown was a bit difficult for all those layers of fabric and Decovil. But was doable. Pretty sure I broke a needle though lol. (I broke so many with the megu hat )

Generally making another one of these hats should be easy enough if needed. I do not plan to wear it too often so it should be fine, right? Its really cute tbh. The ears and bow are attached to the hatband so that easily transferable.

Now I can be LLENN in a fantasy game! Shooting Magic Missiles with her P90.

So… lets talk about the Megu-Hat So many mistakes were made but it kinda worked! Needles literally “exploding” by me pulling them to the side in the fabric (DON’T do this they break).

But from square one…. This one is a pattern from Tiffany Gordon Cosplay. Choosing this pattern was such a mistake… The pattern was made with a foam base that then has a fabric layer put ontop of it.

Me a pawfessional (not) decides: I can do this with only fabric and Decovil right? WRONG! Okay not totally. But god damn it was rather difficult. Just because my sewing machine is nor really made for sewing 3D objects. The different pieces needed to be attached together with seams. And I ain’t gonna do them by hand.

Oh my matching those curves was almost impossible! I felt really dumb trying to use a pattern for foam with fabric. It became really unwieldy and all but somehow I got it together (after breaking 3 needles by accidentily pulling the fabric into place as it was down=

It looks fine enough tbh. Surely more than good enough for fotos and recognizeable enough. It misses the “eyes” I can do with buttons and shoestrings or similar.

The yellow thing at the back of the hat should actually hang down but I could not attach that last brown piece to the tip. So I did not and just attached the thingie to the back so it looks maybe a little odd sticking out.

The seam at the back is kinda unfortunate. The brim got a little heavy and pulls down a little. But there is a reason its at the back. Won’t see it too often atleast.

The one thing I really liked although its kinda tedious was that headband. its bascially made of 3 layers of fabric (2 yellow, 1 red) and 1 Layer of Decovil I Light. The yellow fabrics were sewn together and the red one was attached with Vlisofix (used for applique) to make it pretty I used a very short stitch (used for buttonholes normally).

It helps with the edges of the red fabric, makes them neat and serges them. Also yes I did actually cut out all those shapes out of the red fabric so the yellow fabric underneath shines through. It came out so well! Love it.

The hat is nice but I would not make it again with this pattern for sure lol

New stuff was finished today again! This time its two different Hats!

• LLENN-Hat (Wizard-Edition)
• Megumin-Hat. EXPLOSION!

Sadly I will have to split this post into two parts. not because it will be too long, but rather since I wanted to attach more than 16 images in total and sharkey does not seem to allow to change that limit.

So part 1 will just be a quick feature in my LLENN-Cosplay of both hats while in part two you get some more close-up shots and more info on how it was assembling them.
