Here is my first attempt at a bonnet/neck tie pattern for mother goose. I'll upload the actual pattern when I perfect it a little more. I think she looks pretty cute, though! Attachments:

How lovely! I really love the design of the Worlds of Wonder goose, shes just so gorgeous! It really is a shame that there were only a few outfits made for her commercially, its wonderful to see people using their skill to make outfits for her.  |

I finally finished the pattern for mother goose's bonnet. I can work out a complete pattern for the neck tie too, if anyone wants it. Print the attached pattern pictures on a regular 9.5x11" piece of paper. I apologize if my directions are a bit confusing... I've never tried writing up a pattern before! Pattern includes 1/2" seam allowance. I recommend ironing in seams/pleats. Pattern works best with heavier cotton fabrics. I used two different fabrics for my brim. If you're a novice, try using one solid fabric so you don't have to worry about lining the right sides up 1. Iron in a turn-under hem on the bottom edge("A") of the bonnet hood. You must iron it in order to sew both the hem and pleats with one stitch. 2. Fold in pleats across the bottom edge("A") of the bonnet hood until it measures 6" across. Sew across back side. 3. Fold pleats around curved edge of bonnet hood until the arc measures 14". You can compare it to the arc of the brim pattern to be sure it's the right size. Sew across pleats. 4. Sew a turn-under hem on one side of the ruffle strip. 5. Sew a basting stitch along the opposite edge of the ruffle strip and pull ends to ruche. Tie off ends when the strip measures 23" in length. 6. Sandwich the ruched edge of the ruffle strip between the two brims along the curved edges. If you are using patterned fabrics, make sure the patterns are facing inward. 7. Sew along the curved edge of the brims. 8. Now turn the inward arcs of the brims over 1/4" and iron. 9. Sew the two brims onto the inside of the curved edge of the bonnet hood. 10. You can hand tack ribbon ties to the bottom insides of the bonnet, or sew a ribbon completely around the bonnet like the original has. Attachments:
