My long-promised bonus video for making Jo March's bonnet is finally here. I used a new technique to form the shape of this bonnet and mostly used scraps for the decorations.

Your wee bonnet is so absolutely adorable. It makes me want to get out my millinery supplies.

@TealCheetah Год назад

Ageless Patterns has it's own website, which I love exploring.

@susankellam8844 Год назад

The perfect accessory to your Jo March ensemble!

@RetroClaude Год назад

I love a bit of millinery. I love the brown and the red. Somehow it's a very sensible Jo choice. I once saw a Victorian source refer to brown as 'the only truly serviceable colour' so I think it's perfect.

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you and I love that quote!

@katebowers8107 Год назад

This is so beautifully impressive! Congratulations on quite an achievement!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you!

@jackiejames4551 Год назад

I think the hat makes the outfit. Well done!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you ❤️

@New_Wave_Nancy Год назад

I'm glad you made a separate video for the hat. I was so busy looking at the dress in the last video that I didn't really look at the hat. Well done!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you so much for watching 😊

@coreygilles847 Год назад

It is so cute! I think it is awesome. Makes me wish I liked wearing hats because you are adorable in it

@cynthiadugan858 Год назад

Cute! You will have to put all your thrifty friends on the lookout for a hat block or a head sized wooden bowl!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Haha yes! That or carve my own out of a log 😬 Thanks 😊

@jenniferstocker5462 Год назад

It's the perfect accessory! I agree that the contrast works really well and it's a very flattering hat!

@elizabethh1804 Год назад

I love it, and this is also very helpful to me, since I'm working on a mid-to-late 1860s ensemble. So, thanks!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thanks, and glad it helped

@pv6450 Год назад

The ensemble is lovely. Love it all

@Sewingistherapy Год назад

It’s very lovely! Erika

@historical.isolde7918 Год назад

I really like the velvet ruffle under the brim, although it seems to get lost a little with all the other decorations. Perhaps a second layer of the same underneath? It would also bulk up the hat a little (one of your own critiques). I was quite surprised at how the brown and red worked together myself. I really liked the bias silk detailing. The different directions of the weave really make it stand out, even though it is the same fabric.

@DixieDIY Год назад

It is a little thin, I could’ve used bigger stitches on the velvet to make it chunkier-looking. I think the brown works because the red threads in it almost match the ribbon. Thanks!

@elainebye9090 Год назад

Yes. As a lover of Little Women from childhood, I think you nailed it! Perhaps the bonnet does need to be a little bigger, as you said, but it's such a confection.. 😍🥰❤ And not too fussy, which Jo wouldn't have liked.

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you, I knew I didn’t want it to be too floofy with weathers or flowers or anything

@teddy-3765 Год назад

I love the whole outfit and think the bonnet works very nicely with it for all that it's size might relegate it to a few years later. Plus, you could always use it as the excuse for making that 1870's outfit to wear with it.

@DixieDIY Год назад

That’s as good an excuse as any, right!? Thanks 😊

@stevezytveld6585 Год назад

Absolutely lovely work. Well done. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thank you Cathy ❤️

@DLBard-bv2nd Год назад

Beautiful! 💞

@BookCat18 Год назад

This is so beautiful ❤️

@polkadot8788 Год назад

Apparently you can make hat blocks out of cardboard wire and plaster of Paris. I've used a poupee head to block before and it turned out well. If you do hat projects in the future.

@DixieDIY Год назад

That’s a great idea! I’ll look into that thanks

@rivergalen4020 Год назад

Lovely

@debcarroll8192 Год назад

Beautiful and impressive!

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thanks so much!

@TealCheetah Год назад

Tiny bonnet!

@crystaldubson7722 Год назад

The bonnet looks good on you, I love the striped dress you had on! Did you make it or buy it?

@New_Wave_Nancy Год назад

She made it and you can find a video about it on her channel.

@crystaldubson7722 Год назад

@@New_Wave_Nancy thank you

@DixieDIY Год назад

Thanks! Do you mean the gray and pink dress I wore in the beginning of the video? I made that using a McCalls pattern that I hacked up so much it barely resembles the original design. The fabric is an Indian block print cotton.

@crystaldubson7722 Год назад

@@DixieDIY I like that one but was asking about the one you had on about 6:40.
