What is Sunbonnet?

Sunbonnet is a type of deep cap that is worn to protect the face and head from the sun. Different forms of the sun have been worn for centuries, almost always women, although they were considered old -fashioned in most parts of the world in the mid -twentieth century. Sunbonnet is an iconic part of American border culture and can be found in paintings, writings and museums focused on expansion to the West in America. The Sunbonnet version is also worn by indigenous Americans in North and South America as part of their traditional dresses.

Sunbonnet design is relatively simple. It is made of thick, hardened fabric or straw, which is designed to hold a deeply curved shape. Sunbonnet is tied under the chin and the valve over the back of the bonnet protects the back of the head and neck from the sun. The deep edges of the sun keep sunlight off the face and out of the wearer's eyes and allow Mur to work outside without fear of burning. In North America you are most commonly seen on the heads of Amish Women, which in their cultRhno identities maintain traditional dresses.

The very ordinary sun can be made of unused straw with simple cotton ties, but more sophisticated versions are also made with brightly colored fabrics and live lining. Amish Sunbonnets are very simple, made either of white, black or dark blue fabric and sometimes cropped with lace for special occasions. However, there are also festive sunbonnets made of flower or plaid prints, and many Latin American sunblocks are made as highly decorative and functional. Travelers to the country of Amish or indigenous American countries can sometimes find sunbathing for sale, along with other traditional garments and crafts.

For the individuals interested in, you can find numerous patterns of the sun. The pattern and materials are easy to work with and the production of the solar race can be an excellent sewing project. TissueThe sun of straw is somewhat more difficult, especially for people who have never worked with straw before. Sunbonnet also appears in the cult "Sunbonnet Sue" block, with which most of Quilters is familiar with. The Sue Sue block probably appeared in the 18th century, when the quilted began to use the application to revive their blanket patterns.
