Hopefully the stays will be done within a week or so, but I'm not betting on it... I've got such bad summer sewing dysphoria.

A simple slat bonnet
Sorry about the radio silence! I've been traveling on vacation, preparing the house for sale and working on my stays without the benefit of long school hours to bore me into working on them. Also, reading and researching.
But I do want to keep myself unburnt at Wauconda this weekend, so I shipped up a slat bonnet from the SA pattern (it literally took less than two hours) with the blue-and-white-ticking-that-will-not-die and the cut up cover of a sketch pad. It's my own little fortress of solitude, and it's awful comfortable.

Oh yay! I like it a lot! :D Yes, those things don't take long AT ALL. Probably the hardest part for me was trying to figure out the pattern.......... don't say it! lol
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I need to make a new one :)
Love,

Thank you, my dear! I was inspired by you and Bascha and Theresa. Now I see what all the hype is about.
DeleteOooh, i really like it F! It looks flawless. They are comfy aren't they? I'm glad mine can fold back though, I enjoy seeing the world (which really means being able to see when getting attacked by children).

Haha, thank you! I'm thinking of making the next one a corded bonnet for that reason. I don't mind the lack of vision, though, it makes me feel like I have my own portable fortress of solitude in which I can do nefarious things.
DeleteI like your new blog look too, the pinky color is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI spent a truly unjustifiable amount of time coordinating the colors while the weather outside was perfect. I am ashamed.
