Do you know how to Create a Baby Bonnet from a Handkerchief? Here are two methods:

Method One:

How to make a bonnet from your handkerchief (hanky):

You should begin with a handkerchief (hankie) at least 12″ x 12″ in size.

Fold one end of the handkerchief (hanky) back about 2/3,Louis Vuitton handbags, and press the fold.

Then fold again about half the distance. The result is an accordion looking fold.

Fold other end back about 1/2″ to form a casing. Press fold.

With very long basting stitches, sew through the half inch fold at the base of the edge (or lace).

Gather the fabric tightly and tie the threads together in a knot. You could insert a decorative ribbon to gather through the casing seam instead of pulling the threads. This would make taking the bonnet apart easier when later used as a handkerchief.

The ribbon is secured with a small tacking stitch.

That’s it. It’s not as complicated as it may sound. Just be patient and you’ll be able to do it.

Place hanky on a flat surface and fold back one edge about one inch and press. This folded edge will be the front of your bonnet.

Fold the opposite edge back about three inches and press. This will be the back of the bonnet.

Open the handkerchief and make a row of basting stitches along the bonnet back fold (in the fold). Do not knot. Refold the handkerchief (hanky) along the pressed line.

Fold the front corner of the handkerchief back at an angle to form a small triangle at the corner. Add a length of ribbon for tying. Repeat this on the opposite front corner.
