Thanks. This isn't exactly what I'm looking for (the rounded head isn't what I remember) but it might give me somewhere to start.

The one I make is like this: stitch the hanky up 3/4 of the way and stop (reverse to keep it from coming undone). Take a small about of stuffing and put it right above where the stitching stops, but center it and fold the hanky over it. Twist and/or tie a knot in each side part and a ribbon around the head part. I also sew a bit of lace on it around the head to look like a bonnet. There is no face on it and this is the poem I use for it.

Pew Babies
In early churches long ago,
Children were restless and sermons were long.
Pews were hard beneath little seats.
Little ones squirmed and kicked their feet.
A knotted hanky was placed in their hands,
That's how pew babies began.

I run this poem out business cards and then I use a small gold safety pin to attach it to the gown of the baby. I tie a bow around the neck area and leave it hanging long. On the ends of the ribbon I will tie a very small cross charm or bible charm or heart charm. It just adds a little something. I use the white men's handkerchief. I can remember my mother just tying this hanky from her own hanky in her purse. She made one for me and one for my twin sister to help entertain us in church!! A LONGGGG time ago. WE charged $4.00 each and they flew off the shelf!
If I get some time I will make one and post a picture. It really is easy

Thanks for the suggestion Carleen. I'll try that.

Here is another one I found.
