More baby goodies...

For more baby shower fun things, I wanted to make twin-themed onesies. Thanks to pinterest, I found a link to making iron-on stencils out of freezer paper for painting onto t-shirts and whatnot. Super easy, totally my kind of thing! I also found a different site recommending use of acrylic paint to do so (rather than fabric paint). I already had acrylic paint - perfect! Away I went! (That is once I was able to find some of the paper.)
It was late by the time I was able to work on the onesies, and tedious to cut out the stencil, so I only got a few done.  
Here they are!



I am thrilled with how they turned out! I can see many applications for this.
If I am a little more patient in the future they'll be even better.

This is what they look like once the paper is ironed on (plastic side down), and the paint applied. I stuck cardboard behind the area of fabric I was painting so no paint bled through to the back.  From there you just peel all the paper off once the paint is dry. Voila!

Owl hats

My sister is expecting twins in the near future, and I think owl hats are really cute. So...why not make them owl hats!


They were pretty fun, I'd never made animal-themed hats before. I found a picture of one I liked and modelled mine after it.



So Lora, if you see this, these are indeed part of your gift this weekend. :)
