    Robert,

    might I inquire as to the width of the ribbon utilized for your project?

    Thanks.

    We now use one inch wide ribbon (27mm) for a more vintage look.

    My attempt at duplicating.....

    Here is the results on me sitting down and making one. I used a smaller ribbon and the hat is one of those being sold at Matt's Scottish Tartan Museum.

    This is the final item sewed and applied to said bonnet:

    Here is a close up of me in the mirror:
