This is the first post for this month that I really struggled with. I don't do a lot of ornamentation because so many of the things I make and wear aren't displaying that sort of wealth or that type of life style. However, I realized that there is one way I like to ornament my ensembles, and that's with a hat that makes a statement. Usually, that means a market bonnet!
I know that I've posted about market bonnets before, but I wanted to highlight the many different ways that they can be ornamented.

| Plain black silk goes with pretty much every wardrobe - even in the 21st century! |
 |
| While black was certainly the most common color, every now and then it's nice to be a little bit flashier - I trimmed this red silk market bonnet with scalloped while silk and a bow with pinked edges! |
 |
| Here's another market bonnet that I made, this time a standard black bonnet with a pretty teal bow and scalloped trim! |
 |
| And one of my more recent projects, a white market bonnet that I added scalloped green silk to this summer for a friend! |
Market bonnets are a great statement piece for any wardrobe, and there are endless ways to ornament them! They're one of my favorite things to sew, and if you want one for yourself, send me an email and let me know (stacylynnsews@gmail.com).
Very pretty!
