Irene Adler Hat




This is a felt that was inspired by Irene Adler hat worn by Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes.

The Paradise Hat



 
This hat was inspired by the BBC drama series 'The Paradise'. I tweaked it a little bit by changing under the brim with a pleat and the embellishment of the rose in front.



Purple Velvet Bonnet


This is a 19th Century Purple Velvet Bonnet I created. It is gathered under the brim and lined with lilac satin fabric. Velvet ruffles lined and sewn at the back. Fastened with a purple stain ribbon.

Skirt Pattern

I have constructing the skirt pattern for red riding hood costume. I did this by creating the box pleat draft then adding a flare towards the bottom of the skirt. I only made half of the skirt for the tiole to see how it looks on the mannequin. I am very pleased with the results.
