Baby Anna's Antique Baby Bonnet

Circa 1920

presented by Jeannie Downs Baumeister

This exquisite Bonnet has been reproduced from one of Virginia Barrett Kellam's bonnets, Circa 1920.  Three triangles of fine Swiss fabric, embellished with beautiful Lace and hand Embroidery form the Brim on this wonderful Bonnet. You will learn how to miter lace insertion and attach it to fabric, discovering the different hand and machine methods used to finish the fabric behind the lace. Entredeux will finish the neck of the bonnet and lace edging will be gently and evenly gathered and whipped to lace and fabric. Lovely Bullion Rosebuds and Jeannie's unique method of achieving the Antique Double Featherstitch will broaden your embroidery skills. Bonnet construction will be covered as well. Machine and Hand Class
