This is one of the easiest sewing projects I’ve ever done. If you can sew a line, you can whip one of these up. My friend Mary told me about a tradition her family has had in place for decades. 20+ years ago she used a vintage hankercheif to make a baby bonnet for her oldest daughter. Fastforward 22+ years, and she used this same handkercheif to wrap around her bridal bouquet. She has since made two more out of the many, many bonnets she’s made for this same daughter’s two kiddos. She said the babies can wear these home from the hospital, or during their baptism. With my Goddaughter on the way, I knew it was time to break out this tradition in my own life. I found two really pretty linen squares at an antique store. 50 cents….for both. Fold it in half. Sew a line at the top about 1/3 inch in. Leave both ends open, this will be the back. Thread ribbon through this (attach a safety pin to the end to help push it through). I bought this satin ribbon for a dollar at the craft store. Pull to form a circle. Tie a bow and trim. Take two more pieces of ribbon and stitch these onto the sides of the front of the bonnet. I don’t own a baby, so I used a can to show how this will rest on the head. Tie to keep in place. Here’s the back. She makes this for boys as well, their future brides can carry these in their bouquets as well. Linking To: Crafty Soiree

Two best ways to make a cute baby bonnet – with a lace edging for one and then to make a bonnet from a handkerchief.

Remember these? All my 20 to 30 year-old something nieces had them. A antique handkerchief simply sewn into a baptism bonnet and brought out again at their weddings for something old. I made my new great-niece-to-be one for a baby shower time capsule and everyone commented that you just couldn’t find these anywhere anymore. Do you suppose I revived this old staple into a new trend? To make these simply fold a handkerchief in half and baste a 1/2 inch seam on the folded edge. Slip a ribbon through the opening and gather. Tie a pretty bow at the back. For these I sewed pretty bow and flower into the front lower corners so it could actually be worn. I’m pretty sure it took me all of 10 minutes. There are several versions of the
poem that accompanies the bonnet if you search on the web, but this one is my favorite. This bonnet at first seems small in your hands, A treasure of lace and ribbon bands. But this gift is more than linen and charms For the sweet baby who rests in Mother’s arms. From boxes long sealed, she will search for the hat, Snip off the ribbons, and after that Hand over this handkerchief with a smile To her grown-up daughter, who will walk down the aisle. Or to maybe her son, a young handsome groom, She will hand him a gift, a family heirloom. He will give it to the girl who holds his heart To have and to hold, till death do they part.

In 1982 I received as a baby shower gift it was a lovely Keepsake Bonnet. It was a small gift with a lot of meaning. The poem brought tears to my eyes. As I read it out loud at the shower I loo…
