My mom made one for my daughter when she was born (1975) and she carried it on her wedding day. Good memories - thanks!

I did just the opposite, made a hankie for my daughter's wedding for her to carry with the thought of making it into a bonnet for her first child. She doesn't have any children yet.

It's a great idea! I saw one at work recently. The only negative I know of is that the ties make it a choking hazard and it will be removed from a basinet at the hospital. Be careful.
