Baby Bonnets for A Friend

The other day I came across a website that sells baby bonnets and I thought of making one even though I don't have a baby girl, but I wanted to try one and give it to a friend of mine and see if it works or not. I made these bonnets a long while ago and I just now got to posting it since I wanted to wait until my baby bonnets make it in the mail. The other day I got a confirmation that my gifts came in the mail, and I was happy that her little girl loves it. Nelda (I call her Ate Nelds) is a good friend of mine from Arizona and she has two kids, one boy and one little girl. I told her I was going to make a bonnet for her little girl, but I ended up making two of them. I wasn't satisfied with the first one that I made (the pink one) so I came up with two. I didn't have any idea at all whatsoever as to how to do it, but I made my own pattern and this is how it came out. I can say that the more I make these bonnets, the more I get better at it. Hopefully!

I am not quite sure about this, but I managed to make two bonnets and the only setback was that I didn't have any interfacing left so I wasn't able to use it for my bonnets which helps support the shape of the bonnet especially for the hood part. At least now I know what to do. If you happen to have your own bonnet template to share, then let me know!

I think she likes this polka dot one better. LOL! She looks good though. I am glad you like it little girl K. Her mother told me she didn't even take it off which is nice because some babies don't like to wear hats at all.

  8. Thanks mommy Dhemz! I am sure enjoying this sewing thing. I should have paid more attention to my mom and asked her to teach me to sew better. hehehe...

    I think you meant South Korea is the safer place to visit because I know North Korea they don't allow visitors or they are pretty strict and scary up there. Thanks for visiting! See you around.
