Cutie Pie

I had a baby shower to go to recently and decided that I should get crafty and make something cute. I came up with this idea after seeing a tub filled with cheery buttons with funny (sometimes cheeky) sayings. The winners for Mission: Baby Onesies were Cutie Pie, Night Owl, Sweet Pea, and Queen Bee.

I used my Silhouette machine and printer to create, print, and cut out the designs on heat transfer material, then just ironed the designs on. This was the first project where I feel like I really made use of the Silhouette. It's not the most intuitive tool for non-designers (I had to do a lot of guessing and trial and error), but the tutorials on their blog are really helpful. I felt like shouting "victory" when I figured out how to make my own designs using bits and pieces of things I already had on my computer and a few shapes from the Silhouette store.

And then I also made one onesie by sewing a layered fabric flower. Everything is cuter when it's teeny-tiny, and I love how these turned out!
