I have a regency bonnet! It's so exciting....the first hat/headgear of any sort that I've ever made. (yes, I know I'm bad, but I've always put off headgear before and it's just never happened) I used straw braid from a cheap large hat I found at Hobby Lobby and picked apart for the brim, and a chocolate color taffeta for the crown with some pale pink roses as decoration (to tie it in with my rose print dress). I'm also planning a fairly simple spencer out of the same taffeta. I think I shouldn't have a problem getting my corset and that done by halloween! Especially now that I've quit McDonald's, I can't tell you what a wonderful release it was Sat when I got home from my last day there. And then it dawned on me how much time it took up, and with 6-10 hours a week of work as opposed to 15+, I now have  sewing time! Yay! And that brings us back to the bonnet of which I don't have pictures because my Dad did something with the camara and I can't find it.
