August Program - Boutis Bonnet







Boutis is a cousin to quilting.  It is a hand-sewn form of decorative needlework that uses a whole-cloth technique in which two layers of fabric are stitched together in decorative patterns into which loose batting and cording are then inserted.    This kit from Marie Yolande makes a beautiful white bonnet.  Diana taught this unique technique which has a sculptural surface in a beautiful pattern.  The bonnet edge is accented with lace, and the ties are silk ribbon.
