Bonnet too small? Just snip the thread holding the gathers at the back of the bonnet.

I'm just a little hanky As square as square can be But with a stitch or two They make a bonnet out of me. I'll be worn from the hospital Or on my Christening day Then I'll be carefully pressed And neatly put away. Then on the wedding day At least this is what I'm told Every well-dressed bride Must have something old. So what would be more fitting Than to find little 'ole me A few stitches snipped And a wedding hanky I'll be. If perchance it is a boy Someday he'll surely wed So to his bride he can present The hanky he once wore upon his head. |
