That is really clever Nadine - I had a sunbonnet when I was little, with matching dress and pinafore all in farmgirl/bicentennial colors. Got my sewing gene from my mom:) Amy Grace

No, not my pattern..It came in that same magazine which my grandma had..cinnamongirl posted the link to that pattern. If anyone can't follow the grid that pattern is on, I can trace mine and mail it to you..that fabric is about 10 years old that I made the bonnet from.
OH . how cute. my grannie's would love yours I made one similiar years ago for old fashioned days at our church one time I still have it ; but I don't know where it is It was red with white lace. I got loads of complments even from the men. Lol' I think I have one of my grandmothers. It too is packed up somewheres. I will have loads of treasures when I find them all. hugs sheila
I have tried several ways to get the file from cinnamongirl to open and my silly computer will not do it. It there some way I could receive a copy - I would gladly pay you for your time and trouble. I just love the idea of a dual purpose project. Let me know if I am asking too much - I know we are all very busy and do not wish to add to your list.

I can do that too. can make them out of any type of fabric..made one with zebra print...for a teenage girl..and lime green buttons!..I will get it back and take pic of it..
Here is a pic of the other fabrics I can make the bonnets out of..I can make about 2 out of each here and 1 more out of the same fabric I made my bonnet with. I sold the zebra print bonnet for $16 bucks. So I will sell these for $16 plus shipping(flat rate envelope or first class envelope).
