Sunny days are here…. And sunny days call for sunbonnets!
This June, I challenge you to make a sunbonnet.
How to participate:
Join the Facebook Group: 2020 Sunbonnet Challenge. There will be questions to answer so I know you are a real person. Group here.
We will begin discussion officially June 1st.
What to do:
Make a sunbonnet and share you progress. Your sunbonnet can be from any era and any region.
Share your progress. This can include: pattern, directions, or inspiration piece, your material choices, and steps as you sew.
Rules:
This is for fun. Each person will choose their own goals for this project. I ask that we support each other in those goals. Participants may choose to do any era, region, and size sunbonnet. I also welcome those who wish to make doll scale sunbonnets.
