Child's Sunbonnet Directions
- 1). Cut out a circle of fabric 24 inches in diameter. Sew a gathering stitch all along the edge of the fabric circle.
- 2). Gather the edge of the fabric circle until it is just big enough to fit on the child's head. This will form the crown of the hat.
- 3). Cut out a piece of fabric 4 inches wide and long enough to wrap around the child's head plus 2 inches. This will form the brim of the hat.
- 4). Fold the brim piece of fabric in half (right sides of the fabric together), bringing the longer edges together. Sew the long edges together, leaving the shorter ends open.
- 5). Turn the brim right side out, using the openings in the short ends. Sew the brim onto the crown of the bonnet.
- 6). Sew the short ends of the brim together and turn the bonnet right side out.
