Baby Bonnet and Bib Plates

Eight small plates on 25 pleats for bonnet brims, bib fronts and layette pieces. Small plates use fewer pleats and less floss, and most of them can be finished in a sitting. The collection costs $19 once, with no subscription, and arrives as a ZIP with eight print ready PDFs, eight SVG charts and a short read me.
