This video was wonderful. I've made at ten bonnets so far. I thank you, my kids thank you, and what was once dry hair that's now moisturized thanks you.
I recently decided to make a bonnet for my daughter and this is the most detailed, descriptive and thorough tutorial I have found yet. Thank you very very much.
such a clear and easy to follow video. been meaning to make one of these for my daughter for ages and now it doesn't seem so daunting. thanks for this!
this was perfect, I love it's simplicity and will make both of my girls bonnets as well as myself to sleep in. might be my Christmas to all my sisters with natural coils. thanks again.
Tiera Woods just measure the circumference of child's head like she showed and the the circles the same way, using 12in. The elastic measurement (which is a couple in more than your child's head) will determine whether it fits your child or not
First time watching. Will be making me, my daughter and grand daughter bonnets very soon. You made the video so simple to watch. Such a beautiful bonnet for that lil beautiful daughter of your. Thanks very much
I love the video and was all set with my 1/2 yd. fabric, but I could not fold it in a way that I could cut it to 12" to make the circle. When I folded it in half and in half again, the most I could get is 9". What am I doing wrong? My fabric is 54" wide so that's not the problem. Your instructions are great and it was just what I was looking for, except for the fabric size. Thanks! M.E.
Did you open the fabric all the way out. When you open it you fold it hamburger style, then fold it again like in the video. I was able to make the bonnet with only a half a yard of fabric with no issues as seen in the video. I hope this helps!
It shouldn’t really matter what length stitch you are using as long as you start and stop leaving a 3 inch gap to insert your elastic. My stitch length was 2.5
I'm trying to Ho by your instructions, half a yard of cotton fabric (18) inches. When I fold my fabric a second time I do not end up with 2 folds , I end up with a fold and a raw edge. I can't get a twelve inch round out of 18 inches. Need help
when you purchase fabric off the bolt its normally 45-54 inches wide on average. Your fabric should be 18 inches long and 45-54 inches wide. You fold the fabric in half the long way and then again to create the square just like I did in the video.
I ended up buying 3/4 yd. piece of fabric and it worked perfectly. It's impossible to get a 12" cut on the fold with an 18" (1/2 yd) piece of fabric, no matter how wide the material. After cutting my circle (actually made mine 11" cut to make a smaller bonnet) I tried laying the circle out on the piece of 1/2 yd. fabric (that I didn't use) and the circle hangs off on either side. The 11" cut circle is 22" across, the 12" cut circle would be 24" wide...too big for an 1/2 yard piece before cutting.

Omg I don't know how to sew... Y'all pray for me cause I really need to make 5 of these for my 5 girls .😀
I got a half of a circle ; does it mean I need to use more fabric ?
Just finished making it and thank you so much!! It wasn't difficult and it's secure plus my 2year old boy loves it.
Beautiful.....I'm going to try this for my two granddaughter's hair.
Thank you so much for sharing with us
Nice, please what's the model of your sewing machine?
You made that look sooo easy. I can't wait to try it myself for my precious little one. 👶🏾👸🏿
I love your details , thanks for this
if I was doing this for an infant what size would I cut the circle? Awesome video
I would cut the circle at about 9-10 inches.
could you do a video without using the sewing machine please
Right everyone doesnt know how to sew on machine😂😂😂😂
I'm going to make my sons bonnets from this tutorial! Thank you :)
Really great tutorial and easy to follow. Thanks
Can u pls tell me how your getting a circle. Bc I’m getting half’s. Am I folding wrong
I had that problem once. Just lay your pattern on both fold lines:)
Would these fit 4 year olds what measurements would you use for that age also newborns????
Thanks for the tutorial! What size elastic did you use, or is that not really important?
1/2" elastic
This video is well explained ❤️❤️ thank you
Looks so much better than the bonnet I ordered on esty. Wish I'd found you to make one for me. It was horrid...
Do you go one inch bigger when your measure an adult's head also
Did you flip the fabric back in to do the casing part?
How much elastic do i need?
Just got finish making one for my daughter a minute ago 😍😍. Thanks for this easy tutorial. She is knocked out but I slipped it on her head lol.
What was the measurements of the fabric to start

Do you have a size chart for making other sizes?!
I’m making this!!! Thank you so much 😊
Real cute! Thank you so much.
Awesome!! I will be trying this
Really useful video. Many thanks.

Hey what's the name of the board you are measuring the fabric on if I may ask
its a self healing cutting mat for crafting n sewing
what kind of stitching did you use to stitch the bonnet
I used a regular straight stitch
yasssssss.. I loooovve it girl..... thanks for the tutorial
What is the size of your Elastic?
very good video
Why is it measured 12 inches I'm curious. Because I'm making mine for an infant
Can you show us how to hand sew this
Lovely❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!
that is so cute
Adorable baby
Great vid👍
So cute
Love it
How much do I cut for a newborn?
I've never made one for a newborn, but you could try about 8 inches.
What size elastic.
I used 1/2 inch elastic.
Yes love this video thank you❤️
I think my fabric was too short it's 45" and I used 1/2 yard
half may be too short its better to use a whole yard or you will have a seam in the middle
New subbie
I tried this and missed a step i think i didn’t get a circle lol
What setting is your sewing machine set on that helps leave the 3 in gap as you sew along your pencil led in markers?
It shouldn’t really matter what length stitch you are using as long as you start and stop leaving a 3 inch gap to insert your elastic. My stitch length was 2.5
