My First Regency Bonnet

imageOkay, technically, my first all straw Regency bonnet. I did make a silk & straw about a decade ago. Skills have improved since then.

imageWhen I started this piece, I had another bonnet in mind. But, the straw quickly told me it wanted to be this bonnet I had seen just before. I complied.

Then, as I worked, I became very worried I was going to run out of straw. This is indeed the very, very last of this hank of plait.
