This cute little Bonnet features the unique method of gathering fabric that I call "Snail Shirring". I named it Snail Shirring when I needed to call it something for an article I was doing for the Creative Needle May/June issue in 1992. It was the second article I did for my column "The Old Fashioned Baby" (named after my business). I named it Snail Shirring after finding it in an old sewing book.
Swiss Batiste, Baby Entredeux, Silk Satin Ribbon, Mother of Pearl Buttons and fine Swiss Edging.
Ready to go into the kits.
Getting the kits ready to teach the this Bonnet Class for the French Hand Sewers SAGA guild. You can see more of this stitch by visiting the pretty things on The Southern Matriarch blog.

That is just gorgeous, Jeannie! Your work is ALWAYS so beautiful.
This is what I taught as our chapter program. I made up a tiny preemie bonnet as a a project. Need to add a tiny bit of embroidery to it. Everyone was very successful. Thank you!!
Oh Martha, what a good idea for a Premie Bonnet. And a good idea for a small project to learn on! I am doing it for my Guild for the next two programs! My SAGA Guild is the French Handsewers (do you think I helped with the name?)
Very pretty! Hard to tell from the pic - is there embroidery on the top of the bonnet?
Hi Tracy, Yes there is embroidery on the top of my bonnet. Simple stitches to teach in the class. If you visit The Southern Matriarch (link in the post) you can see fancy embroidery on her bonnet.
