Tutorial: Little House on the Prairie bonnet

When I was a kid, my favorite dress-up costume pieces were a pair of bonnets like the girls on Little House on the Prairie wore. I’d put one on and pretend I was Laura, and maybe my older sister was that awful girl Nellie. Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shares a tutorial showing how to make a Little House on the Prairie bonnet so your own little girl can dress up like Laura, Mary, or Carrie. Add a long skirt and a white blouse and you’ve got a full prairie costume!
