The weather has been so nice, it's hard to stay indoors and
work on dollys, but I have managed to get a few simple
poke bonnets stitched together. They still need to be lined
and decorated.

cloth dolls from the Blacker Collection. If you are interested
in the early American hand made cloth dolls, I highly recommend
you take the time to watch the 4 videos of the collection
narrated by Florence Theriault.

These dolls are amazing!
It's been really nice outside here too and like you I just had to spend the day outdoors. Your poke bonnets are beautiful. I don't know how to make straw poke bonnets. Maybe one day I will.
ReplyDeleteI love these little bonnets, but I don't understand about "the straw". Is it a product you buy?
ReplyDeleteI added a photo of the Italian hat straw I use to make bonnets. I buy it at Judith M Millinery, and have also added a link to the site.
DeleteI also love your little bonnets. I just reviewed, AGAIN, your fabulous tutorials on making straw bonnets. I am sure you enjoyed seeing the wonderful bonnets worn by many of the dolls in the Blacker Collection.
ReplyDeletevery pretty bonnets. You make the best ones.
ReplyDeleteI envy your patience!
ReplyDeleteThe bonnets are great! When the weather is nice I love this time of year outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGotta enjoy it while it lasts!
