I've had this idea in my head for a while now and finally took the time to make it. And I'm sure I'll be making some more. I first made a cute diaper cover out of a blue/white baby plaid. Then I embroidered a sweet little airplane on a piece of white cotton. I stitched that onto a piece of the blue/white baby plaid and then stitched the whole "patch" onto a purchased baby onesie.
I made this in size 3-6 months and I know I will be making more. The diaper cover uses such a small amount of fabric that I am using scraps that I have. And I keep coming up with more ideas for the embroidery. I thought of machine embroidering some tiny designs...but I really enjoy the hand work....so for now that is what I will continue with.
I am also finishing a "coming home from the hospital" outfit. All it lacks is buttons and button holes.....11 of them!!! That's why it isn't quite finished yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll get motivated and finish it. If these braxton hicks don't improve...I better complete the outfit before dinner tonight. Four more weeks if the baby cooperates.....but as I tell the kids...."it really could be any time." My other three were either two or three days late though....so I really don't expect the baby to come too early...but you never know. Back to sewing!!! Have a great day!!!

Cindy, this little outfit is so sweet. I love the little airplane. I can't wait to see the going home outfit as I know it will be exquisite. I am praying for you as you get to the end of this pregnancy. What a joyous time for your family.

That is very cute! I love the airplane on it.
Whew! I've missed a few of your posts lately. What a talented young lady Miss Emily is and what a special gift for her ballet teacher!
Cindy, you do beautiful work! It is such a pleasure to see what you make each time. I will continue to keep you and your sweet little one in my prayers.
What a great idea. That outfit is so cute. Any little guy would love to wear it.

Too adorable. It looks like someone is "nesting" in preparation for a sweet boy's arrival. :)
That is really sweet!
