Spring Bonnets

For our sewing party this Thursday we will be starting on our spring bonnets and hats. Make sure to bring millinery wire, buckram and pre-made binding with you. This project goes together quickly if the prep work is done ahead of time.

Don't worry about bringing fabric to cover it with this week. However, you will want to have it on hand as well as feathers, lace and other trim for our next sewing party.
