Old Fashioned Bonnet
Have you ever made a lady's old fashioned bonnet?
|
Yes I made one, like they wore on Little House on the Prairie. A lady I worked with asked me if I would make one for her elderly mother in Law. She loved to work outside in her gardens. I made her one from calico and she just loved it. When she had to go to a Nursing Home they told me she took it with her and tied it to her bed.

Good story Jackie. I can picture her wearing it.

I used to make them for my daughter when she was little...thy were the best protection from the sun and bugs.....she wore them till she was about 5 or 6

I made one years ago to go with my daughters little Boo Peep costume with crocheted ringlets attached to the back of it.

*** Yes, I have made them. *** Many years ago we had "Old Timey Days" at our church and *** I made matching outfits for me and my daughter. *** My Grandmother always wore them. *** I have one now and a hand cut pattern she gave me. *** |
Boy, you had me looking. many years ago my husband's Mother in Law gave me a brown paper pattern for one of those bonnets with the section you could add to protect the back of your neck from the sun. I never made one and evidently gave it away not too long ago on one of my cleaning frenzies.

I made several one summer for myself and the grand daughters.
|
I have never made one but have purchased several. I love wearing them when doing yard work - they are great.
