more adventures in millinery

I whipped up another quick tutorial on my blog,  about how I made my straw braid bonnet that I wore to our 19th c. tea party this past weekend.  While this was definitely more complicated than just reshaping an existing straw hat, I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and painless it was to make!

I posted a little hat-shaping tutorial over at my blog. These things make a great base for Edwardian styles, but they could be used for a lot of other periods as well.
