Will the Fabulous Head-Pieces Never Stop?

My best friend finally guilted me into finishing the bonnet I promised to make her nearly two years ago.  After all that procrastination, it only took me about two hours to make!

I still need to tinker with the design a bit.  I don't like the way the ribbons attach, and I suspect that, on an authentic early-1800's bonnet, the ribbon would simply run through the bonnet rather than be attached at the sides.  Also, this bonnet pattern reminds me more of the American colonies than 1800's Britain, so I think I need to look at other, more period-specific patterns.  But it looks pretty good for a costume bonnet, and maybe I'll make a better one in another two years.
