Iron-on Onesies

My sister-in-law is having a baby this month and as my gift to her, I wanted to do something crafty with onesies. I was going to use my Cricut to cut out some little animals but they were too detailed and I don't think it would have worked very well. So, I decided to iron-on some little ties (it's a boy).

1. I bought 5 pieces of fabric at 1/8 yard each. (Total cost was like $2.50 and I still have tons left over)
2. I printed out a Google image of a tie.
3. Iron fabric to a piece of Heat-n-bond
4. Trace tie image to paper backing.
5. Cut out the shape and iron to onesie.

I also decided to sew around the edges of the tie so that it won't fray or anything when you wash them. Because, ya know, newborn clothes get washed a lot. This was harder than I thought but it was totally worth it. Look how cute!
I'm excited t for Laura to see these and I'm even more excited to see the baby in these!

    Nice applique work. I agree, applique is SO hard. That argyle one is too cute!

    Next time I have boy, I pay you, you make many happy onesies. ;) I love them! I would never have the ability to do the sewing around the ties.

    Those are even cuter than I imagined! What a fun gift! Keep up the good work! What do you have in mind for decorated onesies for a girl? Can't wait to see!
