DIY Anchor Onesie

My sister in law is due any day now with her first baby, a little boy, named Asher! They went with a nautical theme for the nursery ( and I have a post from the baby shower with what we did , but I cant find my pictures :/) so I decided to do a DIY onesie keeping with the theme.

This was incredibly easy to do. Especially for those that do not have am embroidery machine, or have no idea how to thread a needle ( or work a sewing machine)

I got the onesie on clearance for 1.50 at Wal-Mart. I used red felt I had on hand for the applique. You can use whatever you want. And Ultra Heat Bond. If you ARE a sewer you can skip the heat bond step, pin to the onesie and sew. I am still going to do a stitch around the applique to ensure it stays put. I love Ultra Heat Bond, but I don't trust it to hold up to things that are washed. A lot.

This is an Anchor that I found on a free clip art site, that we printed out to use for the diaper cake and decoration. I had my mom bring it to me.

All i did was use that, piece of felt, and then the piece of heat bond you see.

I fused the red felt to the ultra heat bond.

Then i used a red sharpie ( and fyi be careful it will get on your hands) because its all I had on hand to use to trace the anchor onto the felt without using a color that would show up if i made a boo boo.

Then cut out the anchor and voila! Ironed it onto the onesie. It was super easy, super fast, super cheap. Again I am going to stitch it down to make sure it holds.

Its fun for easy designs. Got a tshirt or onesie you want to dress up? Find a free clip art piece , print, and your off. I have some others im going to work on as well. Next being with cotton fabric!
