Bonnets and Binky Clip Gifts
11:08 PM
Two of my good friends recently had baby girls, and it was the first girl after boys for both of them. So I made two little gifts each with a sun bonnet and binky clips.
I made Ellaria a sun bonnet earlier this summer using the pattern from Little Betty Designs.
This first bonnet I used white eyelet and a big wooden button.
Rather than the ribbon ties, I use elastic rope to stretch under the chin and stretch around the button on the other side.
The next bonnet used vintage floral fabric.
I lined the bonnet with a coordinating aqua.
Then to add some function, I made a few quick Binky Clips, tutorial here.
The white one was lace sewn on top of white ribbon. It added some texture and I thought the lace made it look a little fancy, although it is still a binky clip.

ReplyDeleteThose are adorable gifts! I have a friend having a c-section Oct 19t to welcome her first girl, so I might be playing a little copy cat!
