Simply Sweet Baby Bonnet sewing patterns
There’s something special about an old-fashioned bonnet that looks so adorable on a toddler or baby. It’s harder to get away with as an adult – a little too Jane Austen for our times, but maybe we should bring it back. It’s the perfect way to hide the fact I should have washed my hair two days ago!
As we’re heading towards Easter, it makes me think of the classic song from the film Easter Parade (written by Irving Berlin):
“​In your Easter bonnet
with all the frills upon it,
You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.”
I could watch Judy Garland films all day!
If I can’t wear a bonnet, the next best thing is sewing a bonnet for a baby or toddler. Snuggly fleece or fur is perfect for winter, or a wide brim and flowery fabric is lovely to shade baby’s face in warmer weather. There are some adorable baby bonnet sewing patterns for girls and boys.
Note: Please take care when putting a bonnet on your baby. Never leave a baby unattended with a baby bonnet as the straps are a choking risk (or could get wrapped around a baby’s finger).
Whether it’s an Easter bonnet, a cute hat to keep the sun off baby’s face or something special for the baby photos, here are the sweetest baby bonnet sewing patterns:
