How to Embroider Baby Overalls Do you have a friend who is pregnant? Need a good shower
gift? Or perhaps you just have a little one of your own, whose
clothing is easily confused with that of his/her siblings? Why
not customize those cute overalls with some unique
embroidery?
Steps

1 Choose the item you wish to embellish. Most baby clothing
will unsnap, or unbutton. Open those overalls up completely.

2 Choose the spot on the clothing that you want to stitch
on. Areas of single fabric thickness are best... i.e.: along the
pant leg, or on the back.

3 Sketch your idea. You may do this on paper, OR you may do
this directly on the fabric with tailor's chalk or similar marker
that will wash out. (test this in an inconspicuous area
BEFORE you draw the entire thing...)

4 Obtain Embroidery supplies. Several needles, and a skein
of each color of thread you will need for your design.

5 Use an embroidery hoop to hold the fabric taut if the
garment will accommodate it. There are embroidery hoops
of every size available, but not all baby clothing is large
enough to use one.

7 Determine what thickness of floss or yarn will best suit
your project. Some stitches such as French Knots work best
with the full 6 strands of thread normally found in Embroidery
floss. Finer details will require using fewer strands at a time to
accomplish the effect desired. A common number of strands
is two, but you should use your own best judgment.

8 Begin stitching with either the darkest color thread OR
the innermost section of the design. Both methods have
their advantages. Dark thread first prevents getting your
lighter colors dingy with repeated rubbing and holding of the
piece during stitching. Working out from the center has the
advantage of being adjusted as you go. (starting at the
outside will restrict any changes you can make later.)

9 Hold the fabric taut while stitching. Even the gentlest of
tugs on the embroidery floss can pucker the fabric and make
the garment not fit correctly when you're finished.

10 Tie off each thread carefully to prevent unraveling in the
wash. (these are baby clothes... expect that they WILL get
dirty.)

11 Steam or iron the finished area of embroidery to help
smooth the area and prevent (or fix) any slight puckering.

12 Finished.
