Do you sell online? I went to the website but it looks like you have to live close by. Is that how it works?

I LOVE the patchwork skirt! I, too, am curious if you sell online. Am wondering how much the patchwork skirt costs....

Gail, my grandmother used to wear what she called "sunbunnets" to keep the sun off her face. Hers were made of cotton with a bit of a ruffle in the back. The front had cardboard stays that were removed when washing. They were funny to me as a 5 yo kid, but now at 70 I can see the wisdom behind them. Do you have any of those?

The bonnet you are talking about is called a 'slat' bonnet. Originally they had wood slats in the pockets of the brim to keep the brim stiff. Later in time cardboard was used in the brim pockets. These were removed for laundering. I traced off an old one and have made some for the Ozark Folk Center. I don't have any left, now. I make the regular 'poke' bonnets and the 'button' bonnets now.
Slat bonnets have such a large, stiff brim that they are like wearing blinders. Hard to see out of. They do keep the sun off, though.
By the way, in answer to the inquiries about the patchwork skirts I make, I do sell them via mail order. The last one I made was an order that was sent out. I charge $48 plus $7 shipping (USPS Prioriy) for a total of $55. I need to know waist size, length, and color combination. I have a lot of cotton calico & quilting fabric that I make them from. They are 100% cotton, prewashed fabric. They are sewn & serged, with no raw edges.
I haven't had time to check this forum very often, so email me at:
thealteredegogg@aol.com to order or inquire.
