Making a Regency Silk Bonnet from a Straw Hat

Рет қаралды 4,750

I make a Regency/Jane Austen era bonnet using a straw hat and green silk fabric scraps from my sleeveless Spencer project.
I love finding uses for expensive fabric scraps, this is a great project for less than a yard of fabric, and you can create accessories that match your outfits!
Bonus: Diana the Corgi and Bean the Chihuahua dogs

This was a joy to watch and the music was very relaxing. Your Bonnect looks amazing and I am glad to have found a make with lots of hand sewing. I look forward to this being my Christmas craft this year.

So beautiful. We will be in Bath having Team at the Jane Austin Centre. Wishing I had a bonnet. I don't think I have time to make one, or pack it! :-) I think I will try to make one when I get home.

@@AbiSueCostumes Where did you find your straw hat? Looking on Amazon, but not finding anything close to this.

@darylsmith1793 I think I found this one second hand on poshmark in the states before I moved. Vinted would be the place to look in the UK. Amazon might have some things, but I have better luck second hand, charity shop finds, ebay, vinted, etsy, that kind of thing

I loved how you used almost all the scraps! It looks amazing with your gown and hair.
