Victorian Bonnet Timeline 1840-1869
Overview
1840s bonnets: close round the face in a ‘horseshoe’-shape; from the side view a long, rather straight bonnet shape; ‘coal scuttle bonnet’ (original 1840s bonnet); sometimes the brim and crown piece are still constructed of two pieces (1840s bonnet)
1850s bonnets: wider round the face in a ‘halo’-shape; from the side view a shorter, more sloping shape; each year, more of the forehead and cheek is revealed (original early 1850s bonnet, mid 1850s bonnet); the decoration, such as frills and flowers, is rather at the side (photograph of bonnet trimmed with roses at the cheeks), or round the face (photograph of bonnet with net frill) Continue reading Victorian Bonnet Timeline 1840-1869
How To Sew A 1920s Wool Cloche Hat – Tutorial With Free Pattern
I’ve sewn a 1920s wool cloche hat and I’ve written a tutorial about it. I’ve also included a free pattern for you, if you want to sew your own 1920s cloche hat. 🙂
In the 1920s, cloche hats were not always store-bought: There were many instructions published about how to sew cloche hats at home. So it’s authentic to grab some fabric and sew your own cloche hat! 😀
‘Making a felt hat: There is none of the tediousness of the usual millinery construction. There are no foundation frames or buckram. The hat is cut along lines outlined on the felt. The pieces of soft pliable material are nearly all stitched together on the sewing machine. […] All so quickly done […] Almost miraculously in a few minutes’ time one evolves a chic little hat’. (1928 instructions for eight different sewn felt cloche hats)
Materials:
- 1920s Cloche Hat PDF Pattern
- fabric (I’ve used black wool broadcloth)
- sewing machine
- scissor
- iron
