25.01.2022 I've put together some pictures showing how to do the 6-strand sundowner plait most often used in making cabbage tree hats. There are finer plaits you can do, but this one is a good one to start with. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oj2__APOF/

24.01.2022 Pieces pinned to check before I unpin and sew petersham over all the wired edges.

18.01.2022 Further progress on my Cabbage Tree Hat - its cold and raining outside so a good time to be ironing! https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mXnNygYLh/

17.01.2022 Still binding all the edges and then I'll put them all together. It can take more than 30 hours of work making one of these bonnets.

15.01.2022 I'm making steady progress on my 1790s black helmet hat. These two images show the similarities of the 1790s and 1813 styles.

14.01.2022 A little history of the Australian Cabbage Tree Hat. Here is an article about the history of the cabbage tree hat in Australia. https://www.jenwilletts.com/cabbage_tree_hats.html

12.01.2022 Inspired to make a copy of this hat/bonnet. Still trying to find out more information on where the image has come from and its date - I found it on Pinterest but the Hprints website keeps locking me out. The gown is 1790s, so will have to stay with that information for now. Please let me know if you find out more.

09.01.2022 I love this portrait of a toddler with a 'Shako' hat. A Charming Portrait Miniature of a Young Boy dressed as a Soldier, Circa 1810.

07.01.2022 Bonnet prices from 1815... Does anyone have access to a translator to see what those prices might be today?

02.01.2022 Historical hatmaker, Aylwen Gardiner-Garden, shares photos from her Cabbage Tree hat making projects. #cabbagetreehat

01.01.2022 Aylwen is starting preparation of the Cabbage Tree Palm leaves that will eventually be used to make a reproduction Australian Cabbage tree hat.
