make a mid 19th century bonnet out of h&m straw hat

In this video, I turn a h&m straw bucket hat into a mid-19th-century, victorian bonnet. I go through the steps of making it and show you some original examples for inspiration. This sort of bonnet would have been fashionable from the 1840s through the 1850s to the 1860s. I show you how I trimmed it, the ties and the protective ruffle at the back of the neck are pretty standard for bonnets like this but other than that feel free to change it up to your heart's content! you could use lace, or ribbon on the inside of the brim, add more flowers, or whatever you wish! here is the hat I used https://www2.hm.com/en_asia1/productpage.1047502002.html To make this hat so that you don't have to guess the size of the back cutout I have drawn out mine and scanned it for you, just set your printer to 100% scale and print! then attach the piece to your hat and cut out the piece. https://ko-fi.com/s/b5b3fbb0eb
