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.
