Sini TuuliaThe Wikipedia article for aigrette is really really short and has nothing about the historical bird murder. If I dig up the paragraph, does a Victorian book work as a citation? Does anyone want to mention that on there? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aigrette" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aigrette</a>(For reasons of avoiding being lost in eleven thousand rabbit holes I am not allowing myself to edit wikipedia pages.)<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Millinery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Millinery</a>

Sini TuuliaLeafing through a dozen different old <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Millinery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Millinery</a> manuals from the 1890s and the 1910s (and one from 1901) and they had all kinds of things to say. Paraphrased:"It's interesting how a machine sewer in New York gets paid so much more than a woman doing the plaiting by hand in distant China." "Make a little knot just behind the needle when sewing with doubled up thread, to prevent twisting." "The selection of ready made hat bases is vast, but it would do to know how to do this yourself, anyway."

Sini TuuliaLast night, instead of sleeping, I was thinking about hats. The start of the 1900s, the decade not the century, is one of those hat eras where pretty much anything goes and I'm sure I have the dregs of some hatting supplies in a box on the shelf... I know for sure I have modern buckram and hat wire! And while I absolutely do not need another hat, I do quite like making them. I mean, it's horrible and difficult, but also fun? Just hat dreams 👒✨ <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Millinery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Millinery</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryBounding</a>

Evo Terra —At-will subversive“You have a hat problem, Evo.”Nope. I have a hat solution! Right there at the front door so I can pick the right one each time I leave the house. <a href="https://podvibes.co/tags/haberdashery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#haberdashery</a> <a href="https://podvibes.co/tags/millinery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#millinery</a> <a href="https://podvibes.co/tags/flatcaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flatcaps</a> <a href="https://podvibes.co/tags/hats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hats</a>

Sini TuuliaIf I may, might I direct your attention to my favourite hat I ever made! It is absolutely enormous and fits on top of some truly chunky wigs and is wider than my actual shoulders in some places!The construction is on top of a repurposed sinamay base, steamed and remoulded, covered in velvet and just a bunch of different veiling and crin tube to simulate the movement of feathers sans feathers!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Millinery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Millinery</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryBounding</a>
