Viola's Bonnet: Buckaroo Bobbins

In the 19th century women were well aware of the damaging effects of the sun on the complexion and rarely ventured outdoors without the protection of their sun bonnets. We have a good friend in Douglas Wyoming who sent us the bonnet that belonged to her Aunt Viola. Viola's bonnet was a copy of the one Viola's grandmother, Carrie Holman, wore as she traveled by covered wagon from Kansas to Oklahoma and New Mexico and then finally settling near Buffalo, Wyoming.Sun bonnets of the day rarely matched the outfits because they were often made from old clothing.They sometimes used paste-board or wooden slats to firm up the brim.The Viola's Bonnet pattern package contains both child and adult sizes with authentic decorating ideas as well.
