Baby Anna's Circa 1920 Bonnet
This is the bonnet we were making at the Elegant Stitces Retreat.
The Brim is made up of three triangle pieces.
This bonnet is a reproduction
of one made circa 1920 for Anna by Mrs. Barrett.
The center Brim Piece overlaps the other two Brim pieces.
The center Brim piece has a pretty embroidery design on it.
All three Brim pieces have Lace Edging slightly gathered and stitched around them.
A little Bullion Rosebud (taken from the center Brim design) graces the side Brim pieces.
The ribbon edge is turned under to enclose any raw edges.
Silk Satin ribbon is attached to the side fronts of the Bonnet.
The ribbon is sewn to the wrong side of the bonnet.
Notice the pretty entredeux that is used to finish the neck.
A pretty ball Mother of Pearl Button is sewn to the right side edge.
I used beautiful French Maline Laces for the Bonnet.
Gathered Lace Edging is stitched around the bonnet.
The lace is also stitched around the back crown.
The Bonnet is made from Swiss Nelona weight Batiste.
I can't wait to see a little baby face in this bonnet!

I can't think of anything sweeter than this!!! Beautiful!!!
Can you imagine how precious a sweet little baby face would look peaking out from under this beautiful piece. Sweet!
Take care,

I can't think of anything sweeter than this!! Beautiful!!
Lovely. Wish more babies wore beautiful dainty things today. I am afraid if I make one for a gift, it won't be appreciated, especially for the California baby coming soon.

gorgeous! Love how those triangles turn back.
Soooooo beautiful-pure perfection in every stitch!
Goooorrrrrgeous!!!
I am so looking forward to convention and classes with you... I need it even if I come home with more UFOs and not enough time to really sew until the next year.
Well looks like I have missed out on a lot. I am just now trying to catch up on my favorite blogs. Did I read that you are giving sewing lessons on the blog? I promise I will have your quilt to you within a couple of weeks. I am sorry it is taking me so long but I am so sad right now. It is hard. Thank you for loving my Granny.
I forgot to tell you how pretty I think that dress is, so I clicked on your link about your job. The bonnet is gorgeous! You sure have a talent I do not have.
