Fun gift for awesome person number 2

My Friends Rachel and Dave recently had a beautiful little boy, he is very handsome and for a new born pretty suave.

So I decided that he needed a tie, unfortunately small children and neck ties don't go hand in hand. To get around this problem I decided to sew one on to a onesie.

first I bought a plain white onsie and some blue checked fabric (actually it was an old shirt)

next I cut a tie shape out from the checked fabric and some iron on interfacing.

I ironed it in to place to hold the tie whilst I sewed and to stop it fraying in the wash. Then using a small zigzag stitch I sewed around the edge. I think it turned out pretty well and he is going to look champion in it.
