1. Purchase a red union suit or stretch pajamas. (Some stores have them for $5.99.)

2. Cut nine long, triangular leaves out of green felt or green fleece.

3. Pin the leaves onto the bottom of the neck edge of the union suit, overlapping them just a bit.

4. Use a zigzag stitch to sew the leaves on. Make a second row of stitching. Trim the edges.

5. Use puff fabric paint in a contrasting color to paint the strawberry dots on the front, chest part of the union suit.

6. Wait until the dots dry, then turn the suit over and repeat the process.
