I jdon't know which one I love more, the pretty blue bonnet or the lovely tan one! Wouldn't that look so cute in the kitchen or hung from a peg in the foyer?! You are so talented! BTW I changed my icon, it's still me, Old SkullBlossom!
Hi I'm helping my 3rd grade daughter with her Pioneer project. She's making a prairie bonnet. It coming out great, but I'm having a hard time finding out exactly why they wore bonnets. Was it just for sun, rain, dirt type of protection? Was there a modesty factor? Thanks.
Hi Patti- The main reason they wore the bonnets was sun protection- the wide brims helped protect the face and the long tails the back of the neck. Of course it would have protected form the wind & blowing dirt also.
