{ Silhouette Onesie }

I bought this beautiful fabric at JoAnn Fabrics a couple months back, for $1.99! I didn't know how I was going to use it, but I knew I'd love to make something for Isabella with it! The same time that I bought her ruffle bloomers for her first birthday photo shoot, I bought a beautiful turquoise pair too! The color in my new fabric and the bloomers were a perfect match!!

I've been crazy about silhouettes lately.. So classic and fun! I searched google for a little girl silhouette, and found this one (here). Perfect for my little princess :) I edited the size of the image to fit the page, and printed it, then cut it out. Next, turn your fabric over, design side down, turn your picture backwards and trace. Carefully cut your silhouette out. For Isabella's first birthday onesie I used a fabric glue to attach the fabric, this time I decided I wanted to sew it on instead. This was a little interesting for me, because I've sewn very few times in my life! It was family movie night, so I hopped on the couch with my boys and got to it!

Some may not be impressed by it, but I was really excited with how it turned out! I think it's safe to say this will be a hand-washed item, just in case my stitching isn't super tough! I can't wait for her to wear it. I will update with a picture when she does! :)






**Update** She wore it yesterday, and I got a few questions as to where I bought it ;)




Shared this project on the weekly linky parties (HERE), thank you so much for hosting ladies!

    I love silhouettes and I love that pattern on the fabric even more!! The fabric store is about as dangerous for me as a candy store for my kids...LOL
    Great Job

    Thanks for stopping by. The bumper was fun to make, just time consuming. Now that onsie is the cutest ever. Do you know you have "no comment-reply" set on your blog. I couldn't reply to your email message.
