The idea of Holmes hat came from [a YouTube
|
|
|
|
|
video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H24VBFMZJF4) I was watching once, in
|
|
|
|
|
which Bernadette Banner is making a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker hat, and
|
|
|
|
|
struggles to find the right shape of the gores to form the dome shape, which
|
|
|
|
|
ends up doing by trial and error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a physicist, I cannot justify solving a problem with an iterative process
|
|
|
|
|
when there's an analytical solution, so I just calculated the shape needed, and
|
|
|
|
|
implemented it in a Freesewing pattern, creating a plugin to calculate gore
|
|
|
|
|
shapes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name was an easy choice, I just needed a name starting with H for a
|
|
|
|
|
Sherlock Holmes hat :)
