Making the Finishing Touches for my "Anne Elliot" Costume for Book Week 2023 - Bonnet & Slippers

Book week has been and gone, but the videos are still coming!

The finishing touches are what really make a costume truly impressive. In this video I take you through my bonnet making using an old paper-based hat that I had in my hat collection. I also work out how to make ribbon rosettes and discover that while pins are useful, sometimes you should give in and sew things properly!
