c. 1850s Caroling Bonnet

This bonnet was designed by and made for me, using a pattern by Lynn McMasters for Patterns of Time. It was my first millinery attempt, over 10 years ago, but it is one of the best documented construction works in my portfolio. I have worn it during the Christmas Caroling Season ever since.

Buckram and millinery wire frame, hand stitched w/ contrasting thread

Buckram layer covered in mull or flannel layer

Outer layer in deep green velvet and a matching ribbon being attached

Trim added to coordinate with caroling costume

The rest of my costume is designed and made by me, as is the green great coat, worn by my son (right).
