My journey down Bonnet Lane has continued these past two weeks. I thought my design was quite final, but now I know there was a little more room for improvement and have added a soft elastic back to provide a little extra shape and comfort for babe.
So here it is, the final product - how adorable is this little bonnet!! Oh and the model is such a dream, well a teething monster at the moment actually. Can you believe an 11 month old can cut a molar!!!
Now we've been wearing our little bonnets almost every day and we are getting quite a few compliments and requests from others for one of their own. Up until recently I hadn't been selling garments anymore but, if there's anything that will change your mind, its people asking to buy an item off your daughters head!
Just last week at the park two dads seperately came and spoke to me about little Adele's bonnet! How awesome is that! I mean a dad, a man! My husband would never speak to another mum at a park, let alone inquire about an item of clothing!!
So you may notice, from the right of the screen, that I'm now selling these lovely bonnets. They can be made in three sizes (0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-24 months) and can be custom ordered - some people prefer a nuetral side, like the stone linen blend bonnets and some prefer bold fabric. They're not cheap, but they are fully reversible, so you are getting two bonnets in one, which I think is pretty good value.
So there you are, I'm selling again and not too soon. You see, my finger 'accidentally slipped' on the QuiltHome website this morning and I may have 'accidentally' purchased a bunch of Anna Maria Horner fabric on sale - 25% off - woo hoo!! Clearly she is my favourite fabric designer - I can't wait till her Innocent Crush line is released in voile later this year - I have plans, oh yes! I have plans!So does your little one need an awesome little wardrobe addition like a little betty bonnet? Do you have any friends having babies right now? They'd make a perfect gift...... alright end now.
For more creative spaces, if its being played today, head over to Kirsty's....
I love your bonnets! Such lovely compliments when people ask about them, and want to buy them.
