Felt Applique Onise {tutorial}

I saw the cutest little fox hoodie on Etsy where the fox is coming out of the front pockets (view it here).

I thought it was so cute I couldn't resist trying it out for myself but I didn't have a hoodie on hand so I thought I'd try it out on an 18 month old onsie.

A word to the wise, this would be much harder to do on a size smaller than 12 months.

 Since I didn't come up with this little fox myself I didn't feel like it was fair to give away the pattern but I will show you how I constructed the onsie.

Here's what you'll need:

A Onsie in the size you need

A few pieces of felt in the colors you want to use 

Poster board

Pencil

Marker

Sewing machine

Thread

 This first thing I did was draw the fox onto some poster board and cut it out checking the placement and scale on the onsie.

 Next I cut the fox apart.

 I used the parts to trace onto the felt.

 Then put them together here to see what it will look like.

 I first sewed on the eyes and nose. The eyes really don't require much.

 Then I laid the fox out to get an idea of where I wanted it to sit.

 I pinned the body in place and stitched around the edges.

 Then I pinned and stitched the face.

Then I pinned and stitched the ears.

Do the same for the tail and you're done!

Happy Crafting!
