Mattel Booful Bare Bottom Baby Beans Bonnet Replica



I was tired of my Baby Beans not having his hat, so I made him a replica. If you are “sew” inclined, you can make one, too!

Bonnet Tutorial

1. Cut a piece of Cozy Solid Flannel 4.5 x 7 inches.
2. Right sides together, fold in half, sew one of the sides perpendicular to the fold using 1/4” seams.



3. With the sewn part on top, sew the bottom seam using your Rolled Hem Foot.



4. With right sides together, sew lace around front using 1/4” seam. I used 3/4” lace, about 10 inches long. Cut off any extra lace.



5. Turn lace over and edge stitch to hold down the lace.
6. Using your Singer 086742-P Ruffler Foot, with settings 1 (for every stitch), 1 for fabric amount, and your stitch length at 5.0 mm, ruffle all the way around the bottom. Do not backstitch because you will be removing the thread later.


7. Sew ribbon around the bottom where you just ruffled, just on the edge about 1/16”, making sure you also sew the lace. I used 3/8” ribbon 28” long, but I really wanted 1/2” but couldn’t find any.



8. Take out the thread from the ruffling that you did.
And you’re done!

Materials Storage Container with compartments Magic Erasers Scissors Ruler Pen Double-sided Tape First measure the compartment size.  If you are computer savvy, you can create your own spreadsheet using the measurements, and customizing it with your presser feet.  Or you can download the one I made here: pdf ms works Then cut out the magic erasers to fit the compartments.  I didn't need them for each compartment since some of my feet are pretty large. Then print out 3 sheets.  You will cut one, and use the other two for the lid of your organizer. Place the cut labels inside the ...

42 Presser Feet Guide

42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up.  There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable.  There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit .  The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses.  I couldn’t find any.  So…. I went through piece-by-piece and compiled a convienent list with photos, uses, and videos (also available on PDF ). They are in order from top let to bottom right of the box.
