Okay, after I went to Hancock Fabrics, I realize this might be getting out of hand. But, if I can't have a cute little girl to dress up girly, I can at least have a stylish little boy. I know they live in onesies, so at least his onesies will be cute! This one was hard, since I'm not really good at sewing on a curve, but I don't think he will mind.
First, you need a onesie, a printed out letter in a font you like, fabric, and fusible webbing. I used Wonder Under brand, but I'm sure any kind works well. Iron on the fusible webbing to the backside of the decorative fabric (following the directions of your webbing), and trace your letter on it. Then, cut it out, peel off the paper, and iron it onto the onesie. Technically, you can leave it at this point, but the final step makes it pop. Then, sew around the letter. This helps hold it on and keeps the letter from fraying. Just be careful to not sew two pieces of the onesie together. Those 0-3 month onesies are tiny! Final product:
Next projects: onesies with bowties and cute burp cloths.
The last few days, I have been in a crafty mood. Maybe it was the 50% off sale at Quilt Arts, or maybe it was these onesies and cloth diapers that I got from the shower that were just begging for embellishment. Maybe subconsciously I know that I won't get to do many crafts in 8 weeks because I'll have an 8 pound something that will take all of my time. Whatever it is, I've been a sewing fool! I've been trying to do more posts, so I will try to spread this out.
The first craft: Sewn on tie
I had seen these somewhere on the internet, and I figured they couldn't be too hard. Well, they weren't! Luckily, I found a webpage with all the info: Crap I've Made: Appliqued Tie Onesie Tutorial. Anyway, here's my finished product:I am so proud!!! Until now, the most I had sewn was hems, curtains, and pillows!
Wow...I just realized it's been months since I've posted on here. In fact, I think my last post was the day before I found out some news that's going to change and has already changed my life. I'm pregnant. And, we found out just a week ago that we are having a boy! Justin and I are really excited, but we have no clue what to name it. With a husband that teaches high school, every name I like reminds him of some kid who's a total butt.
Hopefully, we will come up with something soon!
