I wanted to make a personalized onesie* for baby Emerson. First I had
thought of a heat-transferred or screenprinted image of Ralph Waldo,
but decided against anything that you couldn't wash a million times,
or that might feel unpleasant against the skin.

This was the fastest craft I have ever crafted. Here's how to make an
embroidered monogrammed onesie in 15 minutes.

1. Go to the thrift store and buy a onesie. I got this one for a dollar.
2. Using a pencil, draw the letter(s) you want to embroider. One of
the appealing factors to this aesthetic is the simplicity, so don't
overdo it with the serifs.
3. Using sewing thread (I knotted the ends together, giving me a
doubled stitch), stitch over the pencil marks. I went for longer
outward stitches and short back-facing stitches. If the fabric were
see-thru, it would look like this: -•-•-•-
4. Knot the thread and trim ends.
5. Feel the bask of pleasure that comes with crafting.

*Jason's taken to calling onesies (like this one) "singularities". I
think we are going to be awesomely nerdy parents.

Some late evening sewing - everything but the white is baby clothes from friend's daughter. She's giving her daughter the quilt for Christmas.
