\"bonnet<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another class project for Sewing at the Beach is finished along with the kits and handouts.\u00c2\u00a0This Swiss organdy zig zag bonnet is a summer version of the Swiss flannel bonnet featured in an earlier post<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0Appearing in Creative Needle<\/em> magazine many years ago, the 1920’s pattern has always intrigued me.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0That recreation was made of a single layer of Swiss batiste.<\/p>\n

Working with the organdy was such a pleasure.\u00c2\u00a0 Having modified the pattern to include a lining, I was pleased to see\u00c2\u00a0 the\u00c2\u00a0delicate lawn\u00c2\u00a0print peeking through the organdy.\u00c2\u00a0 It is much\u00c2\u00a0more\u00c2\u00a0visible than it\u00c2\u00a0is through the Swiss flannel.\u00c2\u00a0 Additionally,\u00c2\u00a0the organdy\u00c2\u00a0required no starch before hemstitching.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a bonus in a classroom situation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lining<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Basically, the pattern consists of a single piece of batiste 15\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 X 9\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 with deep zig zags along the front and back. This measurement allows a little excess around the edges for hemstitching.<\/p>\n

I was not surprised at how difficult it was to trace the pattern onto the organdy.\u00c2\u00a0 It would have taken too much time in class, so I used a technique that has worked on other projects that require tracing.<\/p>\n

First, I taped the paper pattern to the cutting board.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, a sheet of quilting template plastic was placed over that and also taped\u00c2\u00a0to the cutting board.\u00c2\u00a0 Next, several lengths of double sided tape (my absolute\u00c2\u00a0favorite, must-have\u00c2\u00a0non-sewing notion) were placed around the perimeter of the pattern and through the center.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally, the organdy was pressed against the tape and smoothed flat.<\/p>\n

Not only does this prevent shifting of shifty fabric, but it also prevents the possibility of transferring some of the ink from the pattern onto the fabric when the marking pen traces over it.\u00c2\u00a0 And it is so much more accurate than tracing over unruly fabric.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/a>

If you would like this wide V floral machine embroidery design, post your request as a comment below.<\/p><\/div>\n

The machine embroidery within the front points is from Fil Tire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and Fancywork Combinations<\/em> collection.\u00c2\u00a0 Lining is joined to the organdy with spray adhesive up to the\u00c2\u00a0brim fold line.<\/p>\n

Machine made entredeux outlines the perimeter and slightly gathered English lace\u00c2\u00a0edging is\u00c2\u00a0butted up to it.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Lace edging is joined all around.<\/p>\n

The embroidered points are folded back to serve as a brim and the back zig zags are tacked together. Ribbons\u00c2\u00a0can be\u00c2\u00a0attached quite simply at the sides.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Machine embroidered lace rosettes to cover the ribbon stitching takes a little more time but I was pleased with the results.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bonnet<\/a><\/p>\n

Five inches of 3\/4″ edging was machine zig zagged together.\u00c2\u00a0 By pulling the gathering thread from both ends, I had more than 2″ of sturdy header thread to knot off, holding the rosette’s gathers.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, there is a small hole in the center.<\/p>\n

Water soluble stabilizer was hooped in my smallest embroidery frame.\u00c2\u00a0 With spray adhesive, a scrap of white lace was placed against the rosette, over the hole.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, with another application of spray adhesive, the lace rosette was placed on the stabilizer.\u00c2\u00a0 The carefully selected design was sized to reach beyond the little hole in the center of the rosette.<\/p>\n

I love baby bonnets.\u00c2\u00a0What is your favorite bonnet pattern?<\/p>\n
