Looking for a cotton bonnet

[Smiles Jr.]

Thanks everyone. You guys are great.

Now let's see if we can find some free sewing patterns for the pioneer bonnets. I'm not sure that I want to admit it, but I do like to make things out of fabric and I like to sew. I have made workshop aprons, Halloween costumes for the whole family on several occasions, leather wallets, leather purses, leather moccasins, and covers for my woodworking equipment.

Try here: BONNET

Or any of these sites: BONNET INFO

Thanks @Smart Red . Last night I spent an hour going through the Pintrest sites. There are a ton of them there. One of these days I'm post some pics of my bonnet(s) on my special ladies.

Why wouldn't you want to admit you can sew? Every tailor I had was a man.

Same here and also upholstery. With the exception of Bay, of course.

Way to go @Smiles Jr. My sons both sew. Mostly mending their work pants. But youngest son made a purse for his girlfriend from an "old turn out suit". They are both on the Fire Dept.

I had my three grandsons sewing at an early age. They each made a 'travel' pillow and a blanket.

No I'm not embarrassed or ashamed at all. It is a very good thing to know how to make things from fabric just like steel or wood.

My oldest son also sews well, as well as cooking, canning and cleaning well also. Wish my other two had gotten that gene.... They can cook and bake well, but have no desire to refine the other skills.
