    L.C. would need about 50cm / 100cm. (it can be in 2 pieces of 50cm/50cm)

    For our friends beyond the pond that's 19-20 inches by 39-40 inches. Or 2 pieces of 19-20/19-20 inches.

    She is telling me as I am writing that if you have a little less, she can manage.

    ...and yes she can make it in any material you want.


    Best,

    tell L.C many thanks,
    I will be in touch as soon as I have made my mind up in which tartan I should like the bonnet, I am almost certain it will be the Tyneside Scottish WW1 regimental tartan, lovely autumnal colours.
    I will pick up the material next monday/tuesday so will make contact with you then

    Thanks once again

    Great lid! Is that pine needles behind the badge? Nice touch!
