A new bonnet!

[celticgoddess81]

A Few months ago, the wonderful The Allseeing RSA sold me one of her patterns for her beautiful stovepipe bonnets.... I finally finished it after a bit of gripping to a friend about hand sewing. (The lesson I got from making the bonnet? That my patience are actually not as limited as I thought and I don't mind hand sewing that anymore.) Anyways I know I am very rarely on here but I wanted to share my beautiful creation with all of you. I found that my head is a bit... um, well I needed to take an inch off the height, because I looked very weird with it upon my head. Without farther ado, my bonnet. (it goes with a matching dress...)

I just wanted to let you all know how wonderful our Moderate's pattern it was extermely easy to follow, I did hot glue some wire to add stabliltiy but other than that, I followed as written. (oh and the above mentioned less one inch. )

Thanks again to the Allseeing RSA for creating a beautiful pattern.

PS. I am apparently photo illiterate on this forum so I did links to my photo-bucket instead of putting the actual pictures.

Yay!! So pretty! You did a lovely job. I am glad you felt good enough to customize the size for your preference, it's what I hope people will do with my patter, and look how lovely it is! I think you should model it when you wear it wiht your dress and share pictures! I love to see final products from my pattern! It makes me feel very happy.

Thanks for the compliment! ::yay!::

Can you explain to this newbie which pattern was used in the above project? Funny, I was just in the process of purchasing a few millinery patterns.

That is my pattern, Anna. Would you like to acquire a copy of it?

"TO THE ALLSEEING RSA", etc.

Yes, I would ,indeed, be interested in purchasing this pattern from you.
If I may ask, do you have any other styles?

Also, if you would like to continue this conversation through e-mail, here is mine, [e-mail]

Thanks,

Steph! Thanks for the complements... I am going to make a matching Spencer/pelise and when I get it all finished I am going to definitely take pictures and post them on here. I am currently work on a different era, so when I manage to meander back into this era I will post again. I truly got into the pattern after my small alteration and I will definitely be making more.
