I love coming up with baby gifts for my young, mom friends. Recently I went to a baby shower for my friend Chelsea who will be having a baby girl later this month. I made a coordinating blanket, onesie, ruffled pants, and headband. I purchased the onesie and the pants and then added the flower applique to the top and the ruffles to the pants. The blanket was made with a microfiber fleece on one side and a coordinating pok-a-dot on the other side and then bound with a super cute flower/paisley print.
I purchased this brown elastic headband then crocheted this flower and attached it to the elastic.
The applique is stitched with a straight stitch and the edges left raw so that they will fray a bit once the t-shirt is washed. I love the soft look of a bit of fray.
The edges of the ruffles are left raw as well, as they too will fray a bit once they are washed to match the t-shirt.
