My cousin and his wife had their first child in May, a beautiful little girl.
Every sewer knows each baby should receive a gift, one made with love and thought in each stitch. For Freya's gift I embellished some shop bought bodysuits (onesies) as each newborn needs some cute bodysuits to wear with a skirt or trousers and a little cardigan.
Both the apple and bird are attached using raw edge applique to allow the edges to fray slightly when washed, and the apple stem, bird's beak, feet and eyes are sewn with co-ordinating thread. The bow is 3D, it was fashioned into shape and lightly sewn onto the suit.
Welcome to the world Freya.

This month is my one year blog anniversary and to celebrate I am sharing the apple and bird patterns, here they are:

I used the pattern on a bodysuit for a baby aged 3-6 months, and the pattern can easily be increased. A new mum gets so many clothes for a newborn I like to give something the little one can grow into.
