Scotch Bonnets

I heard that there were chili peppers named Scotch Bonnets, but I'd never seen a pepper that looked similar to that item of headgear, and scoffed at the idea that they might, until I came across this image online. 

Having been asked to make a few tartan items for a couple of lads, of Scottish roots, I now have to agree that it is an aptly named fruit (vegetable?)

Tartan waistcoats, and bonnets were the order of the day, for a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old. I decided on a typical country gent's cap for the older one, but couldn't resist the fun of (spending hours) working out where to place the pattern pieces for a true Scots bonnet, wherein all the patterns would match around a centre. It turned out well, methinks.

The lads seem really chuffed with their new outfits!

 

Fortunately, there's a younger baby brother to pass them on to, when they grow out of them!
 

Classic Tartan Elegance!

Okay Mamma, why have you plonked me here
in my Sunday best?

So I'm supposed to be looking this way am I?

Oh, I get it, it's a Zelie's Roses modelling session!
I'm happy to oblige. X
