Sunbonnet Thimble Holder

Have you ever visited the website

http://www.tipnut.com/.

Well they have really cute needlebook

photo's with patterns free for your use.

Some of them are so darling. For a while

now I had been looking at the 1936 pattern

of the Sunbonnet Needlecase. For most of us

we remember the Sunbonnet quilts. I made

some of those in my time and gave them away.

Take a look at this Sunbonnet Needlebook.

Hey - I do admit being a CHEATER. If there is

anyway that I can make it in 5 minutes then I

am happy. This Sunbonnet belonged to a doll

that had a very pretty matching dress and

accessories. This Sunbonnet is not very big.

In fact it only measures about 3.5 X 3.5 inches.

On the inside I glued a piece of felt to the bonnet

to hold needles. However I mainly wanted the little

bonnet to hold thimbles.As you can see I have about

4 of them in this bonnet. It can hold more than that.

 If you want one of the Sunbonnet Needlebooks - you

could always find a larger doll that had a bigger

bonnet and convert it. It would be fast and east. You

could also add the little pouch to hold scissors, threads, etc.

But mine was too small to hold those items.

I think that I will put the rest of my thimbles inside

the little Sunbonnet.

I hope that you will think about the Sunbonnets

to hold some of your sewing supplies.

Have a great day and Thanks for visiting me!
