Bonnet is done
May. 27th, 2011 06:55 amI trimmed the bonnet.

(I also finally bought a fake head! Woo!)
The crown is wrapped in a wide bias strip of self-fabric, edged with tea-dyed cotton lace, gathered and folded and lightly tacked down. I was going for a casually draped look, and this is the best I could do. The ties are also self-bias.

This trimming has basically nothing to do with the inspiration image; I just wanted to make it pretty and this worked for me.
