Tutorial Tuesday: Baby Onesies

Erin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:27:42 +0000

I went to a baby shower for a friend last week, and of course, wanted to give her something with more of a handmade feel. I got a package of baby onesies and used a piece of this fabric from Michael Miller that I’d been saving for just such an occasion.

To keep things quick and simple I used the pattern on the fabric instead of creating my own applique patterns. All you need is some fabric, iron-on interfacing, (I used Heat and Bond.) fabric scissors, and some coordinating thread. Iron on the Heat and Bond to the back of the material following the instructions on the package. Cut out around the shapes you’d like to use leaving about 1/8″ border around the images. Center them on your onesie, iron on, then stitch around the edges. Usually I’d do a zig-zag stitch, but this time I used a straight stitch so the edges would be a little frayed. I liked the tree in the print, but created my own. Just cut out some circles and the trunk, iron on, stitch, and you’re done! Voila:

A cute set of onesies for my friend!

Modern Baby Announcements

I love doing custom announcements! Here’s one of the last ones I did for a new baby girl! Thanks Jess for letting me celebrate with you!

Outside-I love the little beaded eye detail…oh so cute!

Inside included the birth information and blessing information along with a spot for a photo of the new little one.

Tutorial Tuesday: Baby Book

Here’s a slide show of the book I made for a co-worker that was expecting. (Katelyn has been born now!)

It’s super easy to make! And here’s the download for you! Click to download the Baby Book. There’s 4 pages in PDF format. (Each page has 3 prompts.) All of the scrapbook prompts above are included and I added some that include meeting their sister/brother/siblings and the cat. I also added a stat page for a boy too. So you’re ready to go!

When I made it I put one prompt on each page (each prompt is the size of an index card) and left space on the other side for a picture. That way the book is already made, the new parents just fill in their thoughts and add a picture!

Let me know in the comments if there are other pages you’d like to see and I can make those a separate download!

Happy Crafting!

Baby Card

Here’s the card I made this month for card swap. My preview stamp images came in JUST in time! I used two images from the Borders Set: The border and the XOXOX stamp. (The “baby” stamp is from Stampin Up) The finished size is 3″ x 6″. I like this one because of the fun rectangular size. Just cut a 3″ strip of 12″ square paper, fold in half, and you’ve got yourself a card.
