[h-cost] 1849 Bonnet (1/12 scale)
Hi, Thank you for all your help and advice on my first straw hat. I'm still hoping to surprise someone with the dressed doll, so I won't post the whole outfit until the project is finished, but I'm too excited about finishing the hat not to show it to you. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.516383471710247.130900.10157974475type=1l=00cec87117 Of course there's lots I have learned in making this hat and the next one will be better. Im trying to work up the courage to try to reduce the fray-check stain on the bow, I wish I had hidden my stitches in the lining. Thing I'm still having the most trouble with is exaggerating details either because I can't make them small enough or because I want them to be apparent. The topline of the hat should have been straighter, the brim is too big, etc. But I'm still pleased with it for a first try! Thank you again! Lauren Lauren M.

Adorable! And my hat's off to you. I hate doing tiny stuff.
