Appliqued bird onesie

I'm really into birds lately. Birds seem to be this year's big design element. They are so sweet.

I made this onesie for the Bambino by using fleece, felt, and embroidery thread. I cut out the bird patterns from fleece, hand-stitched them to the plain blue onesie (I could have used my sewing machine, but I couldn't get the thread tension right; besides, it looks folksier hand-stitched), and then added the little beaks, which I cut from felt. I used embroidery thread for the eyes and legs. Next time, I'll use iron-on adhesive to give it a little more strength.
