One of the girls in my mommy group is expecting her second, a baby boy to be named Henry, any day now so I wanted to make something special for her (or him actually!).
I had a trio of brand new onesies in a pack so I decided to customize them for baby Henry. I thought a mustache would be cute, plus an 'H' for Henry, and a German Shepherd because that is the family pet (and apparently the bain of my poor friend's existence due to incessant barking and shedding!).
Here they are ...
And a close up of each of them ...
The process was easy. I found images using Yahoo image search and printed them onto cardstock (regular paper would work too). I then cut out the shapes and traced them onto 'Wonder Under' (about $1.50/yard at Walmart). After that I ironed the Wonder Under shapes onto fabric, which I got for around $4.00 per yard at Walmart. Next I cut them out, peeled the backing, and ironed them onto the onesies. Then I used a small zigzag stitch on my sewing machine to stitch around each shape.
Here's a great tutorial with detailed steps for creating your own customized onesies using a similar method to the one I used from the Small Fry and Co Blog.
Happy crafting my friends!
