I'm back... New Primitive Prairie Demo Bonnet

Needed to make one of my child's prairie bonnets today for an order,
so while in the sewing room, I designed a new Prairie Bonnet pattern.

So do...tell me what you think

This bonnet is a basic cloth bonnet but I added some features to
fancy it up a bit.  It has a long bavolet (curtain), small ruffle accents and ties.


I think it's a keeper with a few tweaks to the pattern.

One problem with making this bonnet...there is a TON of hand-gathering to be done...and I don't like that, LOL..

This demo bonnet may be for sale... if anyone is interested.

Opinions please,
Traci

    It looks very nice, so old fashioned. I can see some old lady like Tasha Tudor wearing it.

    I agree with Steph. The ruffles do add a sweet touch of femininity.
    It's a great bonnet, Trace.
