Evergreen Bonnet Sewing Pattern - Baby + Child

Cutest little ruffle brim bonnets

Adore this pattern!

I made the reindeer add-on for an advent calendar gift for my girls, and they were honestly a joy to make--I enjoyed them even in a time crunch with other holiday projects breathing down my neck and a thousand interruptions from my baby. Great scrapbuster! I used scraps of both woven and knit and interlined with a thin fleece for warmth. As I didn't have a good marking tool that would show up for the antlers, I actually handstitched those and they came out fine (although turning out the loosely woven wool was fiddly, and I'd use a tighter weave next time). I cut a hook and loop zip tie into smaller segments and used that for the chin strap closure instead of the bulkier velcro I had on hand, and it worked great. That's all to say that this is a flexible pattern that can withstand a lot of different fabrics and substitutions! I couldn't get a very good photo, but I absolutely adore them. I sewed name tapes into the interior back seams because I know the girls will want to wear these to school this December :) Twig & Tale patterns are some of the best-written I've ever made; they're so much more pleasurable than many other sewing projects I take on.

It is such an easy pattern to adjust to what I needed for Halloween. The instruction videos are great for visual learners.
