Clothing for children here in the Dominican republic is kinda expensive, you know if u want Carters brands or even walmart brands. They're twice as much here :( UGHHH.... So what i did was went to the store and bought a 3pack of wrap onsies for about $5 and some change. But as we all know, plain onsies are.. well, PLAIN and boring! I've seen lots of cute ideas online and on many blogs. So some how i got the idea of cutting out pieces of felt and sewing them by hand with embroidery floss on to the onsie!
I made this SAIL BOAT one for a friends son (who by the way is only 1 week older than Izzie)
i cut out Half a circle in the navy blue felt and then two triangles in the yellow felt. and a tiny red triangle to symbolize the little flag on the boat.
Here in DR they don't have JOANNS and all those great crafts/ fabric stores, so i had to figure out a way to do my appliques without.. umm.. that stuff ppl always say to use that hold the applique in place for you to sew peacefully.
ANYWAY.. so i used liquid silicone to glue down the felt, but not around the borders, or else the embroidery needle and thread could get all sticky!
And there you go, a "Sail away" wrap onsie
