Straw Bonnet c.1855

When you need a bonnet display stand quickly: use an iron.

The bonnet is made from 1/2" hemp braid bonnet, worked in the Timely Tresses Lydia Alma pattern (second shallowest brim length). Materials from the same: 4" sage-colored moire ribbon ties and bavolet, purple and yellow flowers with light green velvet leaves. Lace 'cap' inside the brim is a 1" cotton lace.

This side has more flowers.

But I really like how the leaves look here.
