(no subject)

After one bent hand needle, one broken hand needle, and holes in two fingers and one fingernail, my bonnet is done! I still have to figure out where I want to place flowers/feathers, but all the buckram/fabric/rest of trimming is complete. And once again I'm reminded why I don't like to make hats from scratch.

 

On the other hand, I love trimming hats! I also finished the hat for my Ravenclaw bustle. I started with a straw craft hat, reshaped the crown, removed 5+" of brim, wired the brim, and bound it with bias tape. Then I applied navy lace and cream vintage lace to the brim, plus a gathered puff trim of the plaid from the dress to the base of the crown. I finished it off with several feathers and a flower. I'll post pics after this weekend.

-Move hook and eye on hoop petticoat
-Finish trimming bonnet
-make wrapper to wear with ballgown
-hem bf's trousers?
-sew on bf's epaulettes
-figure out what to do about bf's baldric/belt situation
