Colts Baby Items




I made this blanket and embroidered two onesies for my brother's baby, who was born on Valentine's Day. My brother is a big Indianapolis Colts fan, and he wanted his child to be one, too! I was glad to hear that the gifts were well received!


I got the cotton Colts fabric and white fleece at JoAnn's. I then digitized a Colts horseshoe and logo with my Digitizer Pro software and embroidered it on the fleece with my Janome MC 10000. I shrunk the horseshoe design for the onesies before I embroidered on them. I've gotten the hang of embroidering on knits finally after many failed attempts. The key was hooping the stabilizer only and using a basting stitch to anchor the clothing to the hoop.
