And here is me wearing it on a blustery day.
I can't believe that is hand sewn! I don't have the patience at all for that - I hardly have the patience to sew on a machine. And it looks amazing as well! I love the detail on the brim!
ReplyDeletethank you kristin. I get fustrated with sewing machines, hand sewing is much more relaxing. I can go pretty fast whenI sew.
DeleteSo pretty! I remember when I first joined a medieval society and someone said to make an outfit really look period, the most important part is head and feet =) That's a beautiful little cap, very much the cherry on the top!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on the feet. Found some cute pupmps but need to add ribbons to them.
DeleteThanks Erika. I'm really pleasd how it turned out.
