I wanted to learn how to make a traditional Poke Bonnet with the ribbon and the draw string back for adjustment. It was really interesting to construct and far more complex than I first thought but so enjoyable.
I went looking for fabrics and colours redolent of the place and time so she is dressed in warm beiges and denim blues with rich cinnamon linen.
With her bonnet and stout boots she is ready for a day in the prairie grasslands.
She carries a counted threadwork sampler sachet and has a little embroidery hoop brooch that is complete and can be removed and worn. She has deep blue eyes with brunette pigtails and a gentle smile. All hand embroidered and hand styled. She was a joy to make xx
