After an embarrassingly long time, I finally trimmed my early 1860's bonnet. I finished making the bonnet in February of 2018. I trimmed it this weekend. Considering how much I hate trimming hats, I think it looks pretty nice.

It's done with paper flowers, velvet leaves, berries with fabric leaves, and rayon taffeta ribbon.

It's charming, modest, and elegant.

It looks great! Where did you get the paper flowers?

Nice fill and framing the face. I agree that the paper flowers are a nice touch. Good job.

It looks lovely!

When it comes to attaching the flowers inside the brim ... did you put a stitch through the petals? I've only tried inside-the-brim trimming once, and it seemed like when I just attached them at the base of the stem they kept flopping down.

It's so pretty! The warm colours are perfect for coming summer, but will also transition really nicely into fall.
