Making an 1830s Net Bonnet Cap || A Historical Sewing Vlog

Описание: Follow along on making an 1830s cap from the Workwoman's Guide. The directions for the cap can be found on page 126 of my copy of the Workwoman's Guide-yours may differ slightly based on which edition you have (1838, 1840, 1844, etc.). Please consult the index of your addition to find caps. The one we are making today is the 'cap for a young member of the society of friends'.

I have many Workwoman's Guide projects lined up to film, so if you like that sort of thing, like and subscribe so you can be notified when I upload :). Some ideas I have floating are more caps, shawls, veils, and traveling bags. I'm a Texas-based living historian who usually does 1853-1865 but is branching out to include more Texas history related time periods so I am building 1830s and 1840s wardrobes mostly from the ground up.
