Monogramming for Children




Monogramming for Children…a current trend in children’s fashion and accessories is the hot topic these days in the embroidery world.

Today, the monogram reflects our personal style. Think of it as a personal “stamp” to set your child apart in our cookie cutter society. Monogramming children’s clothing and accessories is a great way to not only personalize their belongings, but to give attention to their very individual personalities. Consider a creative crazy font in a wild color for the outgoing child or a more traditional, conservative font in a subtle color for the reserved child. All one has to do is check out a trendy children’s shop or department store to see the wide array of monogrammed items. Little girl’s dresses are adorned with a monogram on the bodice or on a sweater for those chilly nights. You could put a very tailored monogram on the bib of a baby boys overalls or on his own cute little button down or polo shirt.

Remember those scratchy nametags you mom sewed into your clothes at the beginning of every school year? Names were etched on our lunchboxes and pencil cases. All are a form of identification for our belongings. Even though these were great ideas, you can now have your child’s initials or name discreetly monogrammed on the inside of their jacket or hat… the same results without the itch! While monograms are a trendy way to personalize children’s garments, safety experts caution against using the child’s name in an easily visible spot on the garment. This can help protect children from potential predators.

Monogramming your child’s clothing is a great way to highlight their own unique personalities and to affirm who they are!
