AudioGals review

My first stab at regency millinery
My finished red velvet poke bonnet — though I’ll probably re-trim it, since I’m not entirely happy with the ribbon.
Today I’m at Romancing the Past, blogging about the regency bonnet-making workshop I attended this month, taught by expert milliner Lydia Fast. I learned an enormous amount, including the surprising amount of time and materials that go into a typical regency bonnet.Click here to jump to the post.
