Fun with Fabric
Our Senior Design Team challenge over at Papertrey Ink was to stamp on fabric and utilize it in our projects. Use die cuts, or anything really…just be creative, so I came up with the CUTEST thing EVAH! I don’t even care if I sound like I am tooting my own horn, because seriously…this is SO CUTE! So here’s the deal… I wanted to use something you all may have hanging around in your altering drawers, so I came up with the darndest idea! A onesie door pillow!!! AW!!! SHH… Baby is sleeping!!!
Too cute, right? So this is easy peasy! Just get a small pillow form (I happened to have one laying around, or you can upcycle a decorative one you may have (especially if this is for yourself) or make one. About 6×4. Just check and see how the newborn onesie fits. Trim off the excess and seam it (either with stitching or Heat and Bond tape.)
I did all of the stamping and embroidery first. It is easier to sew on those buttons when you can get your hand inside of the onesie. I used some sewing tape you heat to applique the sailboat fabric. I stamped everything with Dark Chocolate Palette Ink, which when heat set is permanent. I hope you try this. I was so smitten with the result! Why don’t you go and check out what the other girls have done!
Stamps: Men of Life, Fresh Alphabet
Ink: Dark Chocolate
Vintage Buttons: Spring Rain, Rustic Wood
Ribbon: Spring Rain Twill
Other: Newborn Onesie
