I finally made my first bonnet from Amy’s lovely pattern. Summer’s here, so this bonnet is made with lightweight, all-cotton fabrics, and lace trim, no brim. My daughter had requested weeks ago that I make her a “Holly Hobbie bonnet”. We have a rather cute Holly Hobbie DVD, in which Holly finds a trunk full of her great-grandmother’s clothes and sings about wishing she could have met her. Here is the song, which I admit got me teary more than once while listening, thinking about what it would be like for a little girl to meet a grandmother, at the same age as she. Or maybe it is just me, remembering my Holly Hobbie dolls from childhood?
…I’m sure I’m just like you.

Ohhh, that is beautiful! And I remember my Holly Hobbie dolls from my childhood – must have been an international success! ;)

I loved Holly Hobby when I was little! I had Holly Hobby bed sheets and my mom made me a Holly Hobby doll and she embroidered some Holly Hobby prints for my bedroom. Very cute bonnet!
