Surprise Baby Announcement
Oh baby, Carly has some exciting news! I'm expecting a baby in December. I wanted to share the news to my mother and mother in-law in an exciting way, so Kim and I put our heads together. After looking all over the internet we came up with a brilliant plan, a onesie with a cute message on it. I put them in a box and had them open it on Mother's Day. They were both brought to tears and couldn't be happier.Material
- One or two white 0-3 month onesie
- Two colors of embroidery floss
- One needle
- A 1/4 of a yard of fusible interfacing
- Iron
- One pencil or washable marking pen
Steps
- Measure out the area you plan on embroidering
- Cut out the fusible interfacing to fit in that space.
- Then flip your onesie inside out and iron the fusible interfacing by following the directions. that come with the fusible
- Then in your best handwriting use the pencil or marking pen to write your cute message on the front of the onesie.
- If you are happy with the front and print, you may beginning the time consuming process of embroidering :)
- The knot was something I could never get down, so Kim had to help me. Take the tail of the floss and wrap it tightly around the needle 3 times. Hold the knot between you thumb and pointer finger and pull straight down.
- Start on the inside of the onesie and make your stitches small.
