Two-Month Birthday Onesie for Little Lars

July 19, 2013 By radmegan 3 Comments

Lars is two months old now, so I made him a new birthday onesie! Don’t worry friends, the radmegan blog is not going to be a solid year of ONLY onesie modifications. 
There will eventually be toddler t-shirt modifications too…

And maybe tips for getting spit up out of our bra. 

But I digress. 

This is Lars’ 2-month old onesie. For the record, it’s a size 6 month. 
He’s 26 inches long already. Gadzooks! 
 
To make this month’s onesie, I used, an existing gray onesie, fabric scraps of jersey knit (t-shirt material) from my Alabama Chanin stash, an iron, fabric scissors, fabric pens, pins, needle and thread (navy blue and white) and Rick Rack.
  
I ironed a rectangular swatch of navy and drew a “2” on it with the fabric markers. In red, I drew out “mo.” and carefully cut the pieces out.
My plan was to do a little reverse applique a la Mrs. Chanin herself…

But this little sweetie doesn’t nap for very long in the daytime… so I decided to stitch the blue swatch down and just glue the red bits down.

After I pinned the blue swatch to the front of the onesie, and was confident that the fabric glue was set enough to lift, I began stitching the patch down.

I went back and forth a few times on whether I should add Rick Rack to the outside of the “2” but after a few texts between my sister and mom, I committed to it. It IS for a baby after-all… might as well add a little extra cute where I can.

(Yes, I do think Rick Rack= cute)

My mom came up for a visit on his 2-month birthday and added the the white “X”s to the the border of the “mo.” for a little something extra. 

Little Lars seemed very pleased with his birthday duds. I’m thinking I will be making something for him to wear each month. 

My GOAL is to then put all of the onsies and tops together as a quilt, however the only quilt I’ve ever completed is the teeny tiny one he’s laying on in the last photos. Wish me luck!

    Oh my gosh is that baby ever cute! Beautiful eyes. A solid year of onsies would be fine with me! They are adorable.
