We were greeted by Dorothy's dolls modelling different styles of bonnets, and offered materials and patterns for mob caps (4th photo above, doll on the right and also second from left) and Normandy bonnets (3rd photo above, dark red with white lace). Double click on photos to enlarge. The mob caps can be made from a lace doily. Simply edge stitch with a large zig zig stitch a round piece of cloth, preferably a contrasting color to the doily and smaller, so as to leave a lacey edge without the lining. Attach the lining to the doily by hand stitching. Then run round elastic cording from the fabric store through the zig zag stitches, leaving enough to tie a bow so you can adjust the gathers to fit the doll's head. Voila! Just add ribbons, flowers, or other decorations for a simple but beautiful cap for your doll.
