Can I show off just a little today?

I went to a get together with some moms on a message board I belong too.  At this get together, one of the mom's showed me how to applique onesies.  (Thanks, Katrina!)  I mean, I see them on Etsy all the time and think that I should be able to do that.

Today while Sam took a LONG (yay!) nap, I worked on the onesies.

It didn't go well at first.  I ironed the fusible webbing to the wrong side of the fabric but then I got the hang of it.  My finished products are pretty basic but I love them and LOVE that they're not perfect.  I'll stitch around the whale and tie once I get a sewing maching and figure out how to use it.

Here's the first one I made.

After I added the stitching to my janked up peace sign (apparently I missed scissor cutting in kindergarten):



The only casualty?  My ironing board.  I accidentally ironed the fusible webbing onto the cover:



Special shout out to J who drew ALL of the patterns I used.  I said I wanted a whale, tie and peace sign and he hooked me up with fabulous patterns!

Here's Sam's pic of the day:

I will eat you!  Nom, nom, nom...
