So I had a baby shower this weekend and needed a gift. I have been in "headband" mode. However; my girlfriend is not finding out the sex of her baby.....so no flowery headband. A couple of weeks ago I had seen these cute onesies at a little shop and decided, "I can make those" :) Here is what I did (I am trying to get better at remembering to take step-by-step photos...)
1. I printed and cut out a couple of simple shapes for my appliques. I chose these shapes because the shower is for my TurboKick instructor ;)
2. Trace the images onto the back side of a piece of baby flannel and cut out. For this particular design I decided to use some ribbon as well.
3. I tied a bow with my ribbon and hand stitched it to the baby onesie. Next I machine sewed the boxing gloves to the onesie. I used a contrasting color thread to make the outline of the gloves stand out.
