Bonnet news

[frualeydis]

I have been working on the bonnet most of the day. Left to do:
Hem the bavolet, i.e the flounce at the bottom.
Sew on two pieces of ribbon as trim.
Decorate it with fabric flowers
Sew on the ribbons to tie it with. This will have to wait because I don't have any wide enough ribbon. I will get some tomorrow.
Expect pictures tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

I made a quilted bonnet yesterday (a test version from purple and green polyester habotai). Recommended! Very fun to make and very comfortable. It would not have been as densely quilted if I had done it by hand though...

I need to make a corset too. I can't keep stalling by making drawers and hats. I already have a plan for another bonnet. Next 19thc project wil have to be the corset.
