Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past Paperback – Illustrated, 15 Feb. 2001

I loved the bonnet girls have made one and I am on my second ,also have sorted out a third .They look good in a frame,they are addictive ,all my sewing friends think they are greatMy only complaint is that you didn't put in what fabric you needed for the smaller ladies ,as the lace sizes were much to big ,people who are just learning would struggle

After trying to draw myself I decided to buy the book it great! It made me remember playing with paper dolls all though years ago. The patterns are easy to trace and you can mix and match. I have done six already.

Really great book for ideas for different crafts

what can i say to this book everyone should buy this book one thing i do love is to buy a book and you dont need to enlarge the patterns.what a treat to buy a book like that. its a very colourfull book. if you but it your see for your self.

The book has designs for several ladies all wearing bonnets which cover their faces - a great idea if (like me) your embroidered faces don't end up looking human. The patterns are clear, easy to copy, and parts like arms, hats, and other accessories are interchangeable. A lovely little book, the instructions for making quilt blocks with fabric quantities for each design is clearly given. Its easy to use the basic idea for needleworking of various kinds based on these lovely patterns. I love her ideas as the designs are versatile and can be translated into 3D pictures quite easily. The only limit is your imagination and possibly your fabric/thread scrap box. Well worth buying even if you don't actually make a quilt.

I am quiteleased with this pattern book and am looking forward to trying out the patterns. Beautiful patterns and very clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to spend time to detail in appliqué.

I bought the Sunbonnet Sue book earlier this year and found it so easy to follow. I wanted something for the next generation and ordered the Bonnet Girls. I couldn't wait to get started and have already completed one design. These books are truly inspirational.

This book is very different to the Sunbonnet Sue collection which I have done several of. This book is nice just to look at but I am looking forward to having a shot at these very different designs.
