At the moment I try to make myself a mid-1850s bonnet with paper from scratch.

I use paper, cutting here and there a bit, glueing it together, and cutting again until I like the bonnet shape. 😀 I added a folded strip of paper along the inside brim so the bonnet holds its shape. I already like the bonnet shape: So maybe I just make some minor adjustments and the Victorian bonnet pattern is finished!
