Customized Baby Onesies!

My cousin had the cutest baby boy a few months ago and I'm sure he's already spoiled rotten! I wanted to make him something unique and personal and meant to get to these before he was born... but somehow I never found the time!

See Kate Sew has this wonderful tutorial and I made these three in no time!

All you need is a onesie (or three), a graphic you want to apply to the front, fabric, and

fusible interfacing (I used Heat n Bond and it worked great!)

Cut a piece of fabric and a piece of interfacing big enough for all of your letters/graphics and iron them together following the directions on the interfacing.

Then I printed out the graphics and cut each one out. My cousin lives in Canada so I chose to do a maple leaf, where he was born (Alberta), and his name.

Cut each graphic out of your fabric by placing the fabric interfacing side down. You should end up with this:

Place each graphic where you want it on the onesie. I used a strip of fusible seam binding to tack it in place while I sewed it down.

Once they are all in place you are ready to sew!

I used navy thread, but if you're feeling really brave you could use a contrasting color! Stitch around each graphic or letter.

For this one I used embroidery thread to mark an X for the city he was born.

I spent less than an hour on all three, and love how they turned out.
