Making a Tam Hat
I finally got started on my Historic Halloween Costume based on costumes from Weldon's Fancy Dress Catalog for the #historichalloween2020 challenge.
This challenge has been hosted by @Lady Rebecca Fashions and @Kirilee Cosplay , and I will link their playlists below.
For this challenge, I am making a costume that looks like a golf bag. In the Spring and Summer, I work part-time on the grounds crew at a local golf course, and when I saw the inspiration picture for this costume I knew I had to make it!
Life sort of got away from me, and I started on this costume late (the day before Halloween, actually). I am still going to finish it because it's too good not to.
Today's video is about creating the Tam Hat that is portion of the costume.
The earliest forms of these caps, known as a blue bonnet from their typical color, were made by bonnet-makers in Scotland. At the end of the sixteenth century, it was said that the Scottish caps were the normal fashion of men and servants, and they remained so throughout the seventeenth century.
Before the introduction of inexpensive synthetic dyes in the mid-19th century, the Scottish knitted bonnet was made only in colours easily available from natural dyes, particularly woad or indigo.
