Making a Simple Elizabethan Caul with Blackwork Embroidery

Think of an Elizabethan caul as a small coif to cover your bun. Historically, it was made from linen as well as more expensive fabrics such as velvet and damask.

For this project, I used my embroidery machine to put a pattern on the back of my caul and then sewed the caul together. For a how-to on making your own caul, please watch my video here.
