Here I have some of my favorite White Things, and wondered if
any of you have ever made the sweet little baptism bonnets with the
vintage hankies? I’m sure many of you know how to make these,
however thought you might like to see how I make mine.
So just keep scrolling down to the picture of the hankie and I will attempt to
explain my way to make these.

This is a collage of white clothing I have made ,
a few pinks mixed in,

Sweet white ironstone, have been collecting patiently
over the years one piece at a time

Here are the little bonnets I made for my nieces twins, the pink flower for her

little  girl, Keaton, and the all white for her little boy, Atticuss, so let me tell you how
I put these together,

Start with hankie open, you will need a needle and thread,
any ribbon you like,

Fold hankie in half,

 

Now fold again, you have a square with  four layers,


Tac the back of the square, just 2 layers, the back being the corner where there is not an
embroidered design, slightly overlap the points or corners and tac with thread while also
sewing a decorative ribbon also, that you will tie in a bow,

Now tac the two front corners, again with thread and this time, tac
the ribbon for a bow but also while the bow ribbon is open  put the  chin strap  ribbon end on top of this open ribbon and tac the
two pieces at the same time.  You will then tie a bow over the cut end of
the chin strap ribbon. Finally cut your length off for the strap and tie.

I hope you can see on this Cabbage Patch Doll how the ribbons
are tacked on and how it will fit.

This is a spice cookie made from a copper Fluer des Le cookie cutter
that my daughter bought for me, it is my business logo, and there was one left
when she found it, how serendipitous!
Hope my tutorial was helpful, and you can understand it,
