I've looked at a few blogs and photo's of stages get skipped.

I started with an old hand-quilted bedspread that was in very poor condition. I'd already used part of it for a petticoat for the winter months.<br /><br />See you around at a Victorian event.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />frances Tfrances Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456943091022011160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124559156245131584.post-20695916012790741702010-02-19T17:49:35.743+00:002010-02-19T17:49:35.743+00:00Hi Ayshah,

Next time I make one, I am going to use the small size, rather than the medium pattern, although I could pad out the inside of the medium one with a lace cap.Susan Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124559156245131584.post-67001856365804837442010-02-18T12:55:09.302+00:002010-02-18T12:55:09.302+00:00This is the first tutorial I can actually follow w...This is the first tutorial I can actually follow without getting lost halfway through - thank you! Which pattern did you use? I'd like to get one.

Although I didn't have the original pattern I was able to make a reasonably close copy and was really pleased with it. The first time I wore it I found it kept slipping off of the back of my head and so I attached a small hair comb to the inside ans this did the trick. thanks again for posting.Anne Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191268675172893067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124559156245131584.post-24794041293070015332009-03-26T09:29:00.000+00:002009-03-26T09:29:00.000+00:00Hi Hanna,Thanks!

A photo tutorial like this would have been so useful when I made mine, so I thought a few people might enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>Just a note on the bonnet pattern - I used the medium size in the pattern but would definitely use the smaller size when I make another. I don't take a large size in a hat (about 6 7/8 old sizing). Now I've had my hair cut shorter and I don't have a big bun of hair at the back, the bonnets are a bit too big for me. I'll have to make a lacy cap to wear inside them, just to bulk them out a bit and stop them slipping back!Susan Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124559156245131584.post-41398144054006248752009-03-25T17:04:00.000+00:002009-03-25T17:04:00.000+00:00Thanks so much for sharing this!
