Quick and pretty easy baby gift idea number one- appliqued onesies. I say "pretty easy" because even if you've appliqued before, stitching around each piece while you have this onesie smashed up around your sewing machine foot is tricky. Especially if you're working with a 0-3 or 3-6 month size.
I used Pellon Wonder Under (#805) and some fabric scraps. You can get the onesies for two bucks each. If you've never used Wonder Under before, I show how to in this tutorial here. You can get a roll that will make a jazillion of these at Joann's for 10$...and that's before you use your coupon. :)
You can download the owl pattern here to make your own. Who doesn't love owls?
Got to jet. I have my "how to use your Bernina" sewing class tonight (oh yes, I bought a new sewing machine thanks to my husband going halfsies with me. He's the best!) and haven't done the homework yet. Ten minutes to sew some button holes and make myself look presentable is plenty of time, right?
See you tomorrow!

Owls are just one of the cutest animals in the world. Their eyes are probably the biggest reason why that is, and them being part of these designs is just another fantastic reason to love them.
