Ta-DA! So here it is: the before and after pictures of my mom's bonnet! It's supposedly fashioned after the Regency style, which is also the Pride and Prejudice era. Very cool project, especially because I LOVE EVERYTHING VICTORIAN! And thus––if you can guess––I love this style of bonnet!
I used this free simplicity pattern, and considering I didn't have exactly the right kind of hat to start out with, I thought it came out pretty good. It took me longer than I thought it would to finish, but I took my sweet time on this project. The ties at the back and the flower in the front are all sewn directly to the hat, whereas the colorful casing is just glued to the brim. We'll have to see how it holds up, but for now it's pretty dang sturdy. It was a belated mother's day gift, so I'm happy it's finally finished!
Oh! And I just had to steal this from Wikipedia. Best bonnet satire :P
