Onsie Upgrade

These are some baby onesies that I made for a baby shower. The mother-to-be already has a boy and they'd kept all the baby related stuff, so they weren't in need of anything but the essentials. (Diapers, wipes, butt cream, etc.) But I thought that the baby could/should have something that belonged to only him. So, I made these little onesies. My sewing machine is broken, so these were all stitched by hand (oh, so not fun)! But I'm pleased with the way that they turned out. I also made on with the baby's initial on it as well.

Estimated time to complete: 30-40 minutes per shirt (if sewing by hand) 15-20 (if using a machine)

Here's what you need:
Onesie
fabric (for your designed cut out)
needle
thread
scissors

To make these, it's quite simple. Here's what you do:
1. You'll need a onesie and some fabric.
2. Decide on the design that you want to make on the onesie.
3. I encourage you to make a template for the design, or it might come out wonky! Draw your design on the backside of the fabric (if you're using letters or numbers, remember that they need to be backwards) and cut out.
4. Place the cut out on the fabric and pin it in place.
5. Sew the cut out onto the onesie.
Voila, you have a personalized onesie for the new baby.
Have fun and be creative with designs.
This mom was hip and cool, so the mustache and funky tie was perfect for this little boy. But you could do this for girls as well. The possibilities are endless, so start saving those scrap fabric pieces. You don't need very big pieces for most designs!
