Just did a tudor costume in four days, including inventing the dress pattern, and i think if i hadn't found this my friend-and-relation would've had to manage without a headdress.<br /><br />I found a printable pattern at http://www.elizabethancostume.net/headwear/fhoodmake.html<br />which was a big help, but your instructions were much easier to follow - thanks especially for the lovely clear photos.<br /><br />I used black panne velvet and stiffened it with craft foam, which is easy to cut, sew and handle (they sell it for kids to muck around with). It had just the right amount of stiffness and is very light.<br /><br />To pleat the ribbon i ran two lines of small, even, matched, running stitches along the top and bottom edge, as if i meant to smock it, pulled it tight, squeezed it hard, and let it out to the right length. I stitched through the *base* of every fourth or fifth pleat only, and i found it looked best if i let the ribbon sit on the edge of the paste (is that the right word?) rather than sewing it edge-to-edge. To make sure it stayed neat after it left my posession, i ran a length of gold thread through the outer edge of the pleats before removing the front gathering thread.<br /><br />I wanted a veil, and just in case anyone else wants one too, this is how i did it: I took a headscarf-sized triangle of black chiffon, deeply rounded its square corner, and roll-hemmed the resulting curve and about 3" at the ends of the straight edge, using the overlocker . I didn't hem the whole of the straight edge, because i wanted to keep its stretch. Then i safety-pinned the straight edge along the inside of the paste, centering it carefully. Lastly i put it on and tied the veil as you would tie a headscarf, but quite loosely.<br /><br />It looked amazingly like the picture i was copying, so thank you again!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117304322412738581.post-86126884395868995142011-04-18T03:36:07.397-04:002011-04-18T03:36:07.397-04:00Awesome, thankyou!Awesome, thankyou!A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117304322412738581.post-42343693442885926392011-04-12T09:34:37.433-04:002011-04-12T09:34:37.433-04:00I'm assuming you're referring to step 8. M...I'm assuming you're referring to step 8. My trim just wouldn't stay where I wanted it either, so at the top of each pleat, I stitched it once to the very edge of the paste and again a quarter inch in. This way, it wasn't pivoting on one thread. <br /><br />I hope that helps. Some of the buckling flattened out once I put it on. I would love to see it once it's finished. Good luck!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346787459042326405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117304322412738581.post-29862976519610392662011-04-12T03:13:10.736-04:002011-04-12T03:13:10.736-04:00Hi!
