VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK,

In the annals of the Kingdom of Haense, a recent and peculiar phenomenon has begun. None other than an audacious beaver invasion has bestowed its presence upon the serene streets of Valdev, casting ripples of consternation amongst the populace. Recently orchestrated by the Palace Custodian, Marian Blackwood, a clarion call has been issued- a hunt imbued with the somber duty of preserving the equilibrium between man and nature.

 

Within this unfolding spectacle, the office of the Wardrobe emerges to educate the Haeseni populace on the uses of this pests’ fur. Concurrently, as ink meets parchment, the Office bequeaths unto the realm a treasury of patterns, a veritable compendium of inspiration wherein the fur takes on myriad forms, transcending its humble origins to attain the apotheosis of haute couture.

From Wildscape to Wardrobe

As outlined in the recent publication of Krotyav i ve Edlervik: Couture of the Haeseni People Vol III. the remarkable hydrophobic nature of the beaver’s fur stands as a testament to its unique design in comparison to other pelts. Hailing from freshwater enclaves, the beaver harmoniously coexists with its aquatic surroundings– a desirable trait in such a terrain where snow and sleet are commonly falling atop the heads and shoulders of citizens. 

 

However, the practicality of this fur is made all the more practical with their foolish migration into the city. Beaver’s once sparse show as an addition to attire was a result of their limited climate. The beaver- until now- have kept to their warmer climates and waters, avoiding the chillier, more icy waters of the city. Foolish. Hence, it is to be expected that Beavers may become a commonplace occurrence- blessing goods and services alike.

 

 

Beaver Pelt Hats

As priorly indicated in this publishment and the Krotyav i ve Edlervik, the Beaver Felt Hat stands as an ubiquitous cornerstone of the pelt’s use. What is a more quintessential item than a finely-crafted hat?  This headwear distinctly channels the resolute vengeance that the Haeseni populace harbors towards these invasive creatures, as it comprises the entirety of the beaver. 

 

Step 1: PREPARING THE BEAVER PELT

Ensure that your pelt is clean and properly tanned. Remove any residual debris and trim the fur if necessary or desired.

 

Step 3: SHAPING THE FELT HOOD

Place the felt hood over the hat block or mold to shape the hat to fit one’s head. Use steam to soften the pelt, making it pliable for shaping. Secure the felt in place using pins or clips until it cools and retains the desired form.

 

Step 4: ASSEMBLING THE HAT

Cut a shape into the felt along the brim’s edge to achieve the desired hat size and stuff. Use a needle and thread to sew the edges of the hat together from where it was cut, forming the hat’s seam.

 

Step 5: ADDING FINISHING TOUCHES

Affix faux eyes into the hole of the beaver’s eyes- or simply sew shut. Consider decorating your hat with ribbons, flowers, or other paraphernalia.

Beaver Pelt Shawls

The Beaver Felt shawl, however, is an additional alluring piece that may captivate the citizens of Haense. Much like its hat counterpart, this shoulder accessory is crafted from the entirety of the beaver, a testament to resourcefulness and blood-thirst. With its luxurious texture and interplay of the light capturing its dead eyes, the shawl holds a magnetic allure that’s certain to ensnare the gazes of onlookers.

 

Step 1: PREPARING THE BEAVER PELT

Once again, ensure that your pelt is clean and properly tanned. Remove any residual debris and trim the fur if necessary or desired.

 

Step 2: SIZING THE SHAWL

Determine the size and shape of your shoulder piece. Both a rectangular or an asymmetrical design can be opted for, depending on personal preference. The provided pattern utilizes a rectangular design. Use measuring tape to mark the dimensions on the pelt and carefully cut it to match the desired shape.

 

Step 3: ADDING FABRIC BACKING

Cut a piece of fabric or felt that matches the shape and size of your pelt. Align the fabric with the beaver pelt and sew them together along the edges using a needle and thread. This step adds structure and stability to the accessory, but a raw form may still be used. 

 

Step 5: ADDING FINISHING TOUCHES

As stated priorly, affix faux eyes into the hole of the beaver’s eyes- or simply sew shut. Consider decorating your hat with ribbons, flowers, or other paraphernalia.
