My First Christmas in a mix of lettering styles that plays up that baby milestone feeling. The words arent all the same font, theres a bit of mixing happening, where the main script words flow in a cursive style and the smaller words are in a block or print style that contrasts it. Six colours in total which is alot for a text piece but the holiday palette earns it because youve got reds, greens, and a warm gold all working together with a cream or white base colour tying it down.

For stretch onesies go with a cutaway backing and a light topping. Keep bobbin tension consistent through those 6 thread changes and youre set.
