| The SCLA held its monthly meeting at Anne's home
on James Island. Jeanne Weil led a discussion of bonnet making techniques.
Members brought their bonnets, projects and questions. |

 |
This straw bonnet shell was purchased from Linda Gray. She
makes these shells from a mold from the era. |

 |
NO-NO's:
This pancake hat and juliet cap were sold by sutlers but are NOT correct
for our time period. |
 |
This lace and beaded cap might be used for receiving;
possibly as an evening wear head dress. |
 |
Soft Bonnets:
The Slat Bonnet would be more comfortable in a lighter weight fabric.
There is too much puff in the green bonnet, and not enough curtain in the
gray wool bonnet to keep cold wind off. The Conestoga Bonnet is collapsible. |
