The stunning shot silk on this pumpkin hood can look purple or red or green or blue depending on which way the light hits it. This is the softest pumpkin hood I’ve made yet, with the tissue taffeta on the outside and the squishy local wool inside. Inside is a brown cotton sateen. The bavolet is lightly batted like the originals I have. I couldn’t make up my mind on the ribbons, so I picked a black cotton sateen.
Oh…. Check out the heart that appeared on the crown!
I will be switching back to straw millinery soon. Please let me know if I still need to make some more hoods.
