Make a Onsie more FUN: Part 1

I love how easy a Onsie is to throw on, especially in warm weather! They are just so plain though, it makes me feel like my baby is still in her PJ's.

Solution: A felt applique of course!!

Step 1: Cut out a pattern/Shape/number/letter.

Step 2: Using fabric glue, attach the applique out to the Onsie.

Step 3: With a needle and thread do a basic stitch around the outer rim of your applique.

All done!

 I made this shirt the same way for my daughter to cheer on her Daddy.

The GREAT news is I have washed this shirt about 20 times (In the washing machine and dryer!) and it still looks great:)

DIY: Cardigan

This project from start to finish took 30 minutes!

1. Cut out one inch strips of fabric. (Smaller or larger depending on how big you want your flowers.)

2. Cut a (fairly even) square out of your strip. This makes it easier to make sure your flowers are all the same length. TIP- Be sure to use fabric that won't fray!!!

3.With the corners as your guide cute out four petal flowers. I cut out between 34 and 36 flowers.

4. Now find the cardigan you want to use. I would lay out the petals in the arrangement you want so you like how it looks and so you are sure you have enough.

5. With thread similar to the color of your flowers stitch them on. (I used 2-3 larger stitches per flower.)

SEEEEE so easy!

Oh so easy DIY shirt embellishment

Before:

Step One: Cut out a circle.

Step Two: Sew big stitches around the edge.

Step Three: Gather the stitch in the center.

Step Four: Close and tie knot.

Step Five: Sew on to a shirt or cardigan and TA DA!

Here is another great idea...

So many patterns and possibilities.

Sophie's Tip: Remember to use Fray Check on the edges if the fabric frays, so when you wash it it wont unravel. Lay flat to dry to keep the form looking the best.
