second that - especially if said toddler is still of choking age.
Any kind of sew-on trim - ribbon, rickrack, embroidered patches are fine.
Try applique in a contrasting fabric, or explore the free-embroidery
possibilities of your machine. But, skip buttons, beads, jewels, and the
like for the under-three crowd.
