Armed with my newfound fervour for sewing and all things related to homemaking, I embarked on an ambitious endeavour to sew a bonnet for my daughter. She’s studying ‘olden times’ in her school and was adamant that she wanted to look like Laura Ingalls did – so Google we did and we came up with a pattern here bonnet. So after a lot of fiddling around and guesswork (she’s got a smaller head than the one in the pattern), this is it in all its glory… complete with a picture next to our backyard well – suitable background for a gentler time gone by… I even made a matching sash…
