Want to know how to customize Linen Baby Outfits with a little hand embroidery? Here’s a quick and easy tutorial to take an outfit from everyday to runway.

Directions:
- Place scrap linen for embroidery practice, and when you’re ready, the baby outfit, smoothly in a small hoop.
- Pick the thread colors you want to use, and thread needles with 3 strand lengths.
- Follow this tutorial for making the flowers.
- Draw the flower design on water soluble fabric stabilizer if the fabric is super lightweight. Then create the design through both the stabilizer and fabric layers. Follow your package directions to dissolve the stabilizer.
- If necessary for stability, you can iron a small piece of lightweight iron-on fabric interfacing on the inside of the outfit beneath the design. This is handy if knots bother baby’s soft skin, or to help keep the thread ends from unraveling.
