Victorian Sunbonnet Pattern
3 styles based on illustrations in vintage Butterick catalogs, along with my studies of original bonnet shapes,
give you a pattern that will suffice the working woman through most of the victorian era. These 3 bonnets follow
the "feel" of the prevailing style: the early bustle era bonnet (View A- 1872) is a fuller style and
a bit more "fussy" than the bonnets that would follow- its style looks perfect with the fuller sleeves,
and rounder shape of this period. The natural form era bonnet(View B-1878) is a slender style with little fullness,
emphasizing long lines with the flow of the bavolet. The view C bonnet (1850-85) pattern was released in 1880 but
dates much further back and is the simplest bonnet of all of them, with a fold back brim showing the more practical
nature woman was beginning to take when designing her work clothing.

Parasol Restoration/Recovering Pattern
This pattern has several views for recovering
the inexpensive small parasol frames
that nearly every sutler offers.
Included are straight and shaped ruffles
pagoda shape, petal edge, and linings
These are the same patterns I drafted for use when I constructed the Cold Mountain Parasols and the pattern makes a wonderful addition to our Sewing Seminar Parasol class.
In addition to the patterns included,
I have given basic instructions for reworking
the sutler frames to make them look
more period correct,
as well as how to draft a pattern
for a bigger umbrella or parasol-
even if you don't have any
of the original cover left!
