I charge by the job. If I acquire the materials myself, I can usually get a
better discount than the person who wants the costume.
Since for a long time I always underestimated the amount of time involved, I
finally decided to go with a percentage system. I add 33% to material cost

Howdy,
I am a historic reenactor and what I know about sewing is the same that
anyone of you out there may know about Christopher Columbus contribution to
the Social Security. But I have a BIG problem: I want to build, sew,
make, whatever, my own military uniform for the 1797 Spanish colonial

Shortly after 1600. The last portraits I've seen it on were about 1620,
and usually on lower-class people.

You can try Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 1550- 1620 (I am not sure of
the dates). She has a flat cap from the grave of one of the Medicis. You
could use that and embellish as needed. Men's and women's hats were pretty
much the same for this style.

The basic flat cap pattern I use is 3 circles with centers removed (for the
brim and underneath part, kind of like a doughnut shape) and one solid
circle for the top. From what I could see of the picture , the cap you want
seems to turn up on the brim.(?) If so, take wedges out of the 3
doughnuts
