Welcome!

For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by other eras. Growing up I read mennonite books, watched Little House on the Prairie, and as a teen became fascinated with the Amish.

As a young girl my mother made me Amish styled dresses, and on a trip back east, bought me my first bonnet. I wore it constantly! As an adult though, the styles of the 1800's and the Amish are not quite...In Style!

When my daughter was born I wanted something cute on her head, but headbands wouldn't stay put. I then decided to try my hand at making a bonnet for her. My first bonnet was a huge success! Not only was it simply adorable, but it stayed on her head well, it was comfortable, and warm too! A little girl in a bonnet is always in style!
 

Through the years,  I've continued to make bonnets with different fabrics, thicknesses for warmth, and styles. I make my own patterns and would love to share my enjoyment of these bonnets with you and your daughters!

The LydiAnn Bonnet









I made the LydiAnn Bonnet for cold weather!
It has a large brim to help shield the face and a long tie for big bows!
 
There are two layers of Warm&Natural batting inside the brim to help keep the face insulated 
 
On warmer days, the brim can be folded back and still be as adorable as ever!
This bonnet can be made to fit a 2t - 4t.

I make this bonnet in dark solids. 


The LaKay Bonnet









This bonnet has a strap held on by one button on each side.
You can adjust the buttons to where is most comfortable for your little girl.
If she has a thinner face, the buttons can be moved toward the back for a tighter fit, 
and if she has a more full face the buttons can be moved closer to the face so it is less tight.
 
The tie also is adjustable by using a simple slip knot.  

This bonnet comes in a 3-9 month size (depending on baby's head size).
