Embroidered Onesies

Embroidered onesies completed! Here is the set for Baby Girl Twin:


And a detail:


And here are the two for Baby Boy Twin:


At last! Cute boy motifs!



I know I could have gone out and bought a special iron-on stabilizer but I was possessed of that pioneer spirit and wanted to complete the project with things I had on hand. So I was well-satisfied with my freezer paper backing, which I was able to pick right off the back, and to finish things I cut out a square of very soft, high-quality fusible interfacing which I pressed on the back of the design, so there would be no tickly threads to bother the babies. I like these!

  2. Two very blessed babies will wear these special onsies! You did such a lovely job!

    We have a baby shower to attend this weekend and I've pulled out some flannel to make soft little things for our gift! I hope they'll turn out as nicely as your gifts!

  10. So sweet! I'm about to do a similar project with a white jacket and pants set. I found a vintage pattern for lambs while thrifting one day that will be just perfect. Thanks for sharing pictures of yours - I'm feeling inspired to get started.
