Yesterday I created, from start to finish, a black silk bonnet for next week's big 18th c event. I've been craving a bonnet like this for a long time, and I am so tickled with it!
I modified a Timely Tresses pattern since the shapes were so similar. The trim was whip-gathered down the centre, which has the added benefit of hiding any unsightly gathering stitches.
I only wish I had better pictures for you all, but I suppose that will have to wait until the event!

Nice work
I love it!
I absolutely love it! It reminds me a bit like in 'Becoming Jane' - Jane's church hat, but very much so says 18th century!!
