| I did not take pictures of how this bonnet was made and have made 2 more since and I use a white new born fabric cap for size pattern to make up. I used netting and little rings and chains and the one shuttle tatting to connect the back and front together! |
 |
| At the time I made this pink bonnet I was making and selling shuttles and the bonnet is made in 2 parts. Shown on this pink cap separate, the side strip and the back. |
 |
| It was so light she didn't mind it on and she was days old in this picture! |
 |
| The back is made first, so I get an idea of how long to make the strip, and how to match up picots when tatting it together! |
 |
The final ribbon that you cannot see (was placed under my husbands hand on bottom of bonnet and 2 pieces of ribbon were sewn on between the side and back piece on each side) was attached in the back and tucked the bottom a bit to snug to fit head! |
What a treasure!!! So elegant!!! :)
