I had the special commission to make matching onsies for an adorable set of twin girls who are turning one next month. The mom sent me the onsies and the floral fabric and I took it from there. I had sketched out a rough idea a few weeks before and then modified it to fit the size and shape of the onsies when they arrived. There is a beautiful batik brown fabric I used as the main branch, then free motion sewed the small off shoot branches with a matching dark brown thread. All the appliquéd pieces are finished and turned under so no fraying. I added a bit of jazz with some seed beads that have a slight iridescence and a matching reddish-pink hue. The purple lines you see as shadowing are disappearing ink and will be gone before the day is out. I can’t wait to mail these out next week!
