My Bonnet Factory


I'm sewing away for my first crat fair.


A few summers ago
people regularily stopped me in the playground


and asked me about the bonnets


the shorties were sporting.



Maybe I'll get lucky and sell a few.
(made from Rae's pattern)


Still, this will have to be for fun


rather than moola
because


I can't figure out how anyone can make a living


hand sewing these days.


Things are so inexpensive with globalization
mass production, factories and sweat shops.




This will definitely need to be for joy.
Well, who doesn't want a little joy?
I do, I do.
Yes please!

  1. We were recently in Kansas where I saw little bonnets like this for sale in the Mennonite Historical Center in North Newton. Unfortunately, I did not check on their price or if they were handmade, but I'm sure they were a local Kansas product!
