Sew Along Snail Shirred Bonnet


Snail Shirred Baby Bonnet in size Infant.

I will be doing a Sew Along using this Baby Bonnet with the Smocking Arts Guild of America.   It is open to all Saga members.  

This is the  Bonnet Ruffle

I have named this technique "Snail Shirring" because of some instructions I found in a vintage sewing Books over 25 years ago.

You must be a Saga member to do the Sew Along.  All the instructions will be on the Saga website and their Facebook page. It is a wonderful organization and you should join so you can stitch with me!

This Bonnet has a tie in the back which gives it a bit of adjustment for size.

Here is the Saga Link, where you can find out the materials you will need to Stitch Along with us.


Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalm 106:1
