Great instructions and result. The details make this shirt so special!
- TATrish A.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsChic and unique!
I love making and wearing shirts and am drawn to comfy styles with unique and clever details and the Bonnet delivers on all points. It’s well drafted and the instructions are clear and concise, just like all Daughter Judy patterns. I’m already planning my next Bonnet!

I’ve just sewn up the Bonnet Shirt from
Daughter Judy. As usual the instructions were excellent, and the pattern cutting supreme. I love the shape of the finished shirt, and the style lines around the shoulders. But what really makes my sewist’s heart sing are all the special details - like the button tab, sleeve vents, and back cinch situation. 10/10! Will make again!
