Could you please add a link at the end of pt 1 to pt 2, from pt 2 to pt 3, etc, so the parts are easier to find? When I search "sunbonnet tutorial" I get several other results in between, so it'd be lovely to just click to the next section. :) Thank you!!randomhousewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682247558789552339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-74979574165635051162013-06-05T10:55:22.141-05:002013-06-05T10:55:22.141-05:00This is wonderful!

It's been a while since I looked at it, but I think she gives a range of sizes or perhaps she does have you draw out a shape based on your own head measurements. I have made a few patterns/tutorials for headwear and although I find the finished bonnet/cap/whatever fits me well, other ladies have said it runs a bit small for them. So, although there may not be much difference in head sizes it doesn't hurt to use your own measurements if that is what is needed. This particular tutorial is made to be a bit roomy for me (roomy sunbonnets are nice anyway) so hopefully will work well for everyone else.<br /><br />For a brim, I've seen 2 shapes. One is a simple old rectangle, like you see here. The other type is slightly shaped/flared so you get more of a blooming flower effect around your face. The Timely Tresses sunbonnet pattern has a brim shaped like this. You can cord either shape. I have corded the brims of rectangular-brim sunbonnets and also have made a sunbonnet using the Timely Tresses pattern, which I corded. It's easier to cord in straight rows with a rectangular brim, but some careful stitching and cord manipulation can make cording a shaped brim pretty easy too (just rather time consuming).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-15834204579482818492012-10-24T00:16:43.805-05:002012-10-24T00:16:43.805-05:00I've just started following your blog, and the...I've just started following your blog, and the post about your daughter's possible attempts to resist historical re-enacting being futile had me hooked.<br /><br />I absolutely love the dress she's wearing as well as the little cap.

I mean to cord mine, but I'm caught in the web of how to cut the brim and hopefully I'm just overthinking the complexity.<br /><br />Doesn't Elizabeth's pattern on the Sewing Academy have you 'draft' it- measuring your crown and such to create a pattern? I suppose that's not necessarily necessary? (Common sense says heads aren't hugely different in size between women, I think.)<br /><br />Anne's dress is beautiful, and so is she. I love baby's clothes that aren't way, way, way too big. A shame it's getting colder!A. Bertilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598139158306497659noreply@blogger.com
