How the Bonnets are Made

   The bonnets are made with high quality colorful or period correct material cotton blends. A layer of denim or pellon is laid between the between two additional layers of cotton on the top and bottom (denim or pellon) in the bonnet brim and then 'quilted' together before being stitched to the back head piece. The ties and the interior casing are added last.
    The entire bonnet can be machine washed on a gentle cycle or hand washed. The materials, being of good quality,  are pre-shrunk..
    The bonnets are beautifully hand sewn in Wyoming and are USA made. Something we are very proud of here at Rawhide Gifts and Gallery!

To your left is a baby bonnet. We usually give an age of 4 weeks to 9 months. Some babies, being much smaller however, can possibly wear this for a longer period of time.
    The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 7 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 5 inches. The width of the brim itself is actually 3 1/4" and the neck ruffle is 2 inches long.
    The inside casing has a drawstring rather than many bonnets which have elastic. This lets you more control over how loose or tight you want the bonnet.

This is a child's bonnet and we usually feel it's best suited for children ages 2 to 8. This means that actually a one year old can often still fit into a baby or might be large enough for a child's.
   The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 7 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 6 inches. The width of the brim itself has increased to 4 1/4" and the neck ruffle is 3 1/2 inches long.
    Also made with an inside drawstring casing for easier control over tightening and loosening the bonnet.

The women's bonnet actually doesn't change that much from the child's bonnet other than the brim extends in length and the cap enlarges.
 The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 9 1/2 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 7 inches. The width of the brim itself has increased only one more inch to 5 1/2" and the neck ruffle remains 3 1/2 inches long.
    This bonnet, as with the previous two, also has an inside drawstring casing.
