Becky: Blond Bonnet Form

Yay! My bonnet is done!

I still need to remove the parchment paper and finish the edging.

But look where it began!

I completed both bonnets up to this stage. I had to wait to borrow a ham, then later buy one to form the back of the bonnet.

I find the most difficult part of making a bonnet is getting that tab of straw to fit over the gap. The back of this bonnet protrudes more than what I would like it too.

I hope the forest bonnet, Im making for a friend, will have a little cleaner back than this one for me. 

P.S. There is 33 more days until Memorial Weekend at Greenfield Village!
