For Pioneer's Day Week, I sewed Sunbonnets for myself and the girls. Here's the beginning of mine. Then, here are the girls' with theirs. They aren't done yet. Still need the chin ties. But, it is a complete breakthrough that I even did a craft, that I did it literally with the girls (they helped along many different stages), and that I finished all 3 (minus chin ties.). It is also a breakthrough that I did it during the appropriate season of the year! ( I don't think that has EVER happened to me before... Can't remember it happening, anyway. One of my long treasured dreams is to be a seasonal decorator. You know, just in my own house! We do decorate for Christmas, at least!)

Love the bonnets! I'd like to make one or two for next year's pioneer day - did you make up your pattern? My sister made one last year and said it wasn't easy but looked good and her daughter lost it at a parade in Utah last week while my sister was nursing in the car - she was disappointed! what do you do . . . .
Love the hair!
Congrates on accomplishing a goal. I always found it important to celebrate that. I love the bonnets and also the hair. I always liked the way yours and your sisters just went naturally beautiful. Maybe someday I'll find a cut that works.
Keep up the great work!
Love ya,
MOM
Here's a link to the free pattern. It worked great, when I traced it on blank newsprint. When I traced it onto grocery bag paper, it was way too thick!
I'll post the link on my blog.
