Mommy’s Little Monster

I made a new onesie for my little man. It was a monster, of course.

As I’ve mentioned before, before the birth of my son, I worked with preschoolers with Autism for 4 years. I made this shirt to show support for every child I’ve known who is affected by this disorder.

Anyway.  It was a snowflake scarf.
First, I started out by making a snowflake template.
