Granddaughter, Vivian's Thanksgiving Onsie. I took both sides apart to do this one - since there is an applique. It helped a lot - but, I still felt like I was fighting with the onsie. Do you know what I mean? Thanks for taking a peek! Laura
96237You did a great job of "feminizing" this colour! And I love your tip of taking it apart!

Thank you, Claire - that was my first hurdle to jump. Trying to make a dark brown do for a little girl. I still have a light grey one and a navy blue one to use - wish me luck on those!! Hehehehe - I appreciate the Kudos!! Hugs, Laura*

Oh, Sue, she is such a little pudge - I do need to get a pic of her in it - I will be taking care of her starting next week - for two months while my DD goes back to work. Hugs, Laura*

Each one that I have worked with have side seams - but, I would imagine there are some out there that don't. They are just so small and then to get the design on them without having material in the way is what I call a onsie fight!! Hugs, Laura*

132773Hi Laura, it's gorgeous. I must admit I always undo baby suits and do my embroideries that way too. I have, however, on occasions turned the onesie upside down and then just rotated the design to face the correct way. That way you aren't fighting all the length. Love and blessings Chris.
P.S. You couldn't do it on the above design as it is too large.

Thank you, Chris! Yes, I really did put a lot on this little item and I am sure that was part of the onsie "fight"!! Hugs, Laura*

27683Laura this is adorable!!! I've never opened the seams on onesies before. Yikes... I do so many of them that I find them not hard to do. But I will say I remember when I first started out doing them. Then dd showed me the "turn it inside out" way. I also don't hoop them but use spray and pins. :) love this. Did you merge the design? Or was that the whole seeing (minus the name) ;)

Terre, I also use the "turn inside out" method with short sleeved onsies - but, long sleeved ones seem to make that harder - plus, there is a lot of "stuff" on this one. I needed a lot of room. I merged the entire design, I don't hoop them either - but I need to use spray!! Thanks, Laura*

Hummm Laura, I just might try opening the seams. Does it take you longer to do it this way....

It doesn't take long to open the seams - and I use a nice "serger-look" stitch to sew them back up. I think I save a little time "fighting" with the onsie!

360638Looks great! I know what you mean about fighting with it! I did a design on a turtle neck style onsie for a gift last year, and I said it was my last!

Oh, my, Rosalie, with a turtle neck - that would be even worse! Well, if anyone knows the answer to how to make these easier - I would like to know!! Hugs, Laura*
19452It's great! I'm glad that you won. Everytime I hear my daughter say, "Mom, would you embroidery ____ on a onsie?" I whine a little. They are tedious but then so rewarding. So attractive!

9536The onsies are a handful in size so does make them a battle at times, but you did a great job on this. I bet more than one or two have fought a onsie one way or another.
