Onesies are essential clothing for babies, toddlers and young
children. In this practical and fun book, author and expert Janelle
Fischer shows you how to personalize a plain garment to tie in with
your child's favourite animal. You can choose from a dog, a cat, a
tiger, a reindeer, a cow, a duck, a pig, a rabbit or a monkey. Each
motif is cut using a template as a guide and is appliqued in place.
Decorative stitching adds definition, humour and style to the
garment. Alternatively, make your own onesie using the patterns
provided. You can choose from a skeleton, superhero, princess,
pirate and even a dinosaur. Basic sewing skills are required.
