Instructions
1. Cut pattern on felt as desired (any colors can be used).
2. Embroider one letter of the baby,s name on each ornament.
3. Embroider the baby‘s birthdate on the belly of the front onesie (any color).
4. Lay ornaments on the front onesie to ensure fit, then tack on each ornament with emroidery floss.
5. Emroider a light strand to “connect“ the ornaments.
6. Match up the onesies (correct sides facing out or „shown“). Starting with the upper right shoulder (onesie‘s left), begin a blanket stitch, stitching to the right with emroidery floss (any color).
7. When you have stiched the blanket stitch about 75% aroun d the onesie‘s edge, start adding the stuffing as you go, alternating the blanket stitch and adding stuffing, all the way up to the upper left shoulder.
8. When you reach the upper left shoulder, make a hanger from the paper clip (use Google for instructions) and insert it into the neckline. Ensure it will fit and stay in place, then finish the blanket stitch back to where you started it.
