| This is the best way to display a tatted bonnet! |
 |
| Just add a cute baby girl and your done! |
 |
| This is a friends baby and they used this outfit for a very special family religious event, called a "sealing". |
 |
| To me the lightness of the cap lets them keep it on longer than other caps. Bonnet is from Julia E. Sanders book 'Tatting Patterns" One hundred year old pattern this year :) |
 |
| I am not crazy about individual motifs but they are necessary at times, You may already know this tip but I make the 3 petals then add to doily tats quicker this way. |
 |
| This went very fast and using a tiny close pin helps when tying final knot. This is the follow along doily from Renulek Click on her name for more information. |
Lovely bonnet and great tip for tying, cute baby too.
ReplyDeleteThat baby is adorable in that bonnet. What a great heirloom! Thanks for the tip on the motifs. I was not planning on doing it this way, but will try it out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous baby, oh yes and of course the bonnet, such a lot of work and lovely to see it displayed as it should be. Really think the colours on your doily are great too, they go so well together.
ReplyDeleteThank You I know such a cute baby doesn't really matter what she is wearing :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful tatted bonnet, and very precious baby!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your doily is awesome!!! :)
Thank You :)
DeleteYou can't foist a doll on us & say she's a baby, LOL ;-P And isn't that a doll's chair she's sitting on ?!!
ReplyDeleteShe is just adorable ! And she does like to dress up & face the camera, doesn't she :-))
Wondering whether you could've used Single Shuttle Split Ring to close the last ring of each motif - would save on all that hiding ends business.
I see what you mean but still would have to tie it off when attaching it to the doily?
DeleteThat baby is very cute and the day I gave it to her I tried to take pictures she moves very fast I did get a picture of the more of the back that I should post too :)
DeleteGorgeous baby's bonnet, lovely pattern she looks beautiful with it.
ReplyDeleteI am still on the last round hope to get that finished and this new round done by the time she prints the next round. That how I was planning to do the flower pieces in between.

You will be able to get caught up the flowers go by fast :)
DeleteShe's so sweet! Lovely tatting, as usual!
ReplyDeleteBaby looks as though she's enjoying her photo session in her beautiful bonnet! Could you join petals 3 and 4 and then hide ends in the 5th SSSR?
ReplyDeleteI will need you to explain more and How do we know we don't need the picot on 5 ?
DeleteA picot on 5 wouldn't be a problem, but I don't think you could make a SSSR where there's a join? I think it would probably be easier to do it your way and hide the ends.
DeleteShe's absolutely adorable, and the bonnet is so delicate, and pretty! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suztats
DeleteMa che meraviglia questa principessina...con questa cuffietta a chiacchierino ha un sapore d'altri tempi..deliziosa. brava Carollyn
