Monogram Onsies

Remember two weeks ago when I featured these super cute onsies that had whales and flowers on them. I loved that idea so much that I made some myself. My good friend just had twin boys - which puts her at 5 boys! I wanted to give her something that she would love and I thought some monogram onsies would be perfect. Then her other boys could easily tell which baby is which! :)

Now I do not own a Silhouette machine, I wish I did but I have a Cricut and SCAL, so I can do a fair amount of stuff. I went through my fabric stash to find some good fabric to use for this project, and came to the realization that I do not have a lot of 'boy' fabric. I find this odd because I have 4 boys, but maybe it is my love of flowers that helps me in picking out fabric.

Anyway, I was able to find two different fabrics that would work good. I had some onsies that Thing #5 had never wore, and I picked up some heat and bond from Walmart. Which makes this project almost free for me!

I started by cutting my fabric into a 4" square. I chose this size because it would not look too big on the little onsie. I then cut some heat and bond the same size and followed the instructions on the package to attach it to my fabric.

I then cut it with my Cricut. I used a new blade, and it did great. You can kind of see it in the picture. I did end up having to cut a little bit of the top corner of the 'B' but that was because I did not place it on the mat in the right spot.

After I had my letters cut out I followed the rest of the instructions on the package of heat and bond and ironed these letters onto the onsies. And after only 20 short minutes I have 2 super cute onsies to give to my friend!

It rained yesterday afternoon, and it is supposed to rain all day today - not a great way to start summer break, but my kids seem to be enjoying not having anything to do!
