Materials Needed:
· 10" square white handkerchief*
· 1-3/8 yds. white 1" edging lace
· 1-1/2 yds. 1/4" white satin ribbon (or match ribbon to bride's colors)
· fabric glue (if not sewing)
· needle & white thread
· poem
Procedure:
1. Glue or stitch lace around all four edges of right side of handkerchief with ruffle to outside.
2. Fold two opposite edges up (with right sides showing) so that lace almost touches in center. This forms the front and back. Baste along the lace edge of the back to form a casing. Insert a 24" piece of ribbon through casing and draw up so that center is about the size of a silver dollar. (Hint: A safety pin pinned on the end of ribbon you're running through makes this much easier.) Tie ribbon into a bow. You can readjust size to fit baby.
3. Cut two 14" pieces of ribbon for ties. Fold under one end of each ribbon 1/2". Tack the folded end of ribbon to each side of bonnet approximately 1-1/4" inside the front fold at lace junction. (Hint: If you don't wish to sew on ties, you can baste the front as you did the back and insert a 30" piece of ribbon through the casing for ties. This gives the bonnet a different look.)
4. Cut ends of ribbons at an angle. Print poem, trim, punch a hole in corner and slip onto one of the tie ribbons and tie ribbons into a bow. And you have a wonderful baby gift!Note: Size & look may be changed by using a different size handkerchief and/or different width ribbon and folding up more or less of handkerchief edge for front & back. A finished width of 5" to 6" across bonnet makes a nice size for infant.
Poem -I'm just a little hanky as square as square can be.
But with a few stitches they made a bonnet out of me.
I'll be worn home from the hospital or on the Christening Day,
Then I'll be carefully pressed and neatly put away.
For her wedding day as we have all been told,
Every well-dressed bride must wear something old.
So what would be more fitting to find little me?
A few stitches snipped and a wedding hankie I'll be.
And if per chance it is a boy,
someday he'll surely wed,
So to his bride he can present this hanky,
once worn upon his head.
