I just stumbled across photos my mother in law took at Geekling's daycare Easter Parade, so I'm making a very late Easter post - or very early for next year?
We needed to make an 'Easter Bonnet' at home to bring in for their parade. Which got me thinking - what exactly do you make for a young man? Most bonnets I've seen are fairly pink, frilly, lacey or otherwise rather feminine. While I'm not usually one to follow gender sterotypes too closely, I couldn't bring myself to make such a hat for Geekling and was determined to think of something more manly.
I almost made him this one from Sewn Together out of scraps, and almost wish I had as it would have gone into our growing dress up box collection. But in the end I wound up making a very cheap and simple one from cardboard left over from our wedding invitations (4 years ago!) and some foam letters from our sensory box filling collection.
