Project Overview

A Fosshape® base is a solid foundation for a hat or fascinator shape which can be covered in a softer fabric like silk or leather.

Fosshape® is a type of thermoplastic. In hat making, it is often used as a buckram replacement because it has a similar strength to this traditional millinery foundation without the drying time.

Fosshape® comes in three densities - 300, 400, and 600 - with 300 being the thinnest and easiest to work with for millinery. It resembles a thick felt and is sold by the yard by millinery suppliers like Humboldt Haberdashery.

This useful thermoplastic doesn't fray and is lightweight and sewable. In millinery, it is usually used as a base and covered with fabric or leather, but it can be dyed and painted on its own as well.

Fosshape® is especially useful for odd or difficult hat shapes. A handheld steamer with a flat plate is the best thing to use to heat this fabric. Because it will not fray and sticks to itself, you can cut out the bulky areas, overlap the seams and seal with steam and pressure. You should always be really careful not to burn yourself when heating thermoplastics, though. Wearing heat-proof gloves is highly recommended!

My favorite thing about this thermoplastic is that it requires no water, stiffener or drying time, so using it greatly reduces the labor and time needed to block a hat base. This tutorial explains the basic technique for blocking Fosshape®. You can adapt these instructions to work with any shape or size hat block.

This Fosshape® Hat Base Project was written by Amy Fowler.

Fosshape is a material that, I feel, not enough people are talking about. What is it? Where can you get it? How the heck can you use it? Fosshape is a light weight felt-like material that, when heated, can maintain gravity defying, complex shapes. It is very popular in hat and mask making, and is used as a fabric stiffener as well. It has also been used as a base to make armor and forms for large complex wig styles.Fosshape types: • Fosshape 300®: Thin for delicate details and lighter weight nee

How to Use Rit All-Purpose Dye — Rit Dye

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This versatile dye is ideal for almost any job that’s on your to-do list. Each little package packs a colorful punch and is ready to deliver a custom touch to garments new and old, household items, and more. No matter what you plan to dye, whether it’s a pair of jeans or set of curtains, the first step is to choose the right dye for your fabric or material. Always check the care label for the fiber content of the item you plan to dye. This dye is for natural fabrics, such as cotton, linen, wool, silk and ramie. It also dyes rayon and nylon. If the garment you want to dye contains more than 35% synthetic material (such as polyester, acrylic or acetate), then you must use Rit DyeMore Synthetic Fiber Dye instead. SaveSave

Darts are an essential part of garment construction and there are different types of darts in sewing that every sewist should know but, uh, what exactly is a dart? It's simply a folded wedge of fabric that's tapered and stitched down, allowing flat fabric to take on a shape that fits the body well.

Darts are often found in women's clothing (but are also used in men's trousers and jackets), and they primarily serve a functional purpose - to fit the contours of the garment to your body in a flattering way. That said, they can also create style lines that enhance a design.

Of course, not all darts are the same. These are the most commonly used ones you'll find in your favorite-fitting garments.

Good to Know: Darts have two basic components: the point, also known as the apex, and the legs, which start at the widest part of the dart. The dart legs are the two lines that are brought together to create the fold of fabric that is stitched. You sew darts from the widest point of the legs to the apex.

1. Standard Darts

A standard dart is open at one end, often looking like a triangle on the pattern piece, and can be used at the bust or waist (some patterns have both to create a fitted bodice). It's the most common type of dart, is sometimes referred to as a plain dart, and it can be manipulated to create different design elements that function similarly to a dart (like princess seams).

Of course, you can place standard darts at other points of the body to provide more shape. Shoulder and neck darts, for example, help add a feminine shape to a garment that might otherwise look bulky. And elbow darts allow you to have a more fitted sleeve while still leaving enough room to move. (Think of hanging your arms loosely at your sides - you usually keep a slight bend at the elbow, and the elbow dart accommodates for that natural bend.)
LEARN MORE
2. French Darts

French darts are more elongated than standard bust darts. They start lower on the bodice (at the side seam, down near the waistline) and end up near the bust point - effectively combining a bust dart and waist dart into one. They're sometimes seen on more vintage styles, but if you want to use one in a modern design you totally can - though we recommend testing it out on a muslin first.
LEARN MORE
3. Curved Darts

On some patterns, darts are drawn with a gentle curve instead of straight lines. These curved darts are typically found on skirt or pant patterns, as many times a standard dart doesn't provide enough contour to fit your shape in those designs. Curved darts can also be stitched slightly concave or convex, depending on the shape you need to fit.
LEARN MORE
4. Double-Ended Darts

Also referred to as a closed, fish-eyed or double-pointed dart, these are used for dresses or jackets that fit at the waist while still shaping both the bust and hips. It's just like having two darts joined together at their widest ends, with one point toward the bust and one toward the waist.
LEARN MORE
5. Serged Darts

Darts can be time-consuming, but if you have a serger you're in luck - using one can speed up the process. This technique is particularly useful when you have to add darts to knit garments, as knits don't press well and serging can help reduce bulk.
LEARN MORE
6. Dart Tucks

A slight variation on your standard dart, dart tucks are constructed much the same, only the points are left open. These open ends give your garment a pleated appearance, which adds a softer look to billowy pants and blouses.
LEARN MORE
7. Converting Darts to Ease

When you want a more relaxed silhouette than what traditional dart shaping provides, it's smart to convert darts to ease. Doing so helps add shape, while still giving you the fit of a looser garment. It works particularly well on skirts, or when creating sleeve caps for set-in sleeves.
