1840s sewing: bonnets

Because if every single piece of everything I still need to sew for Poe isn't cut out and scattered somewhere around my room, I can't function, it seems. It does mean that everything is started, though -- oh, well, except for altering that bridal petticoat for M. But I still have to find that.

I've been searching for bonnet inspiration for a while, but nothing jumped out at me as a MAKE ME, MAKE ME. I was going through my costume books last night, and ideas for bonnets finally hit me, so figured I'd jump on that inspiration while it's still here.

( Bonnets. )

Also, I am most definitely getting sick; my throat feels scratchy, my sinuses are clogging up, and I'm feeling sort of foggy, as the writing in this post probably shows. DISPLEASED.

Poe update

Quick post to let you know, padawansguide , that I've sent in the form for the tickets, and unless somebody else is getting their tickets on their own, it's just going to be the three of us: you, me, and my friend Marisa. I'll start contacting the couple of tea houses I've found that look nice, and we'll see how that goes!
