DIY: Baby Boy Gift Onesies

So I am in that time in my life where most of my friends have gotten married and are onto that next phase in their lives. With that being said, I feel like every week another friend is announcing that a little bundle of joy is on the way, so I have decided that I want to make something personal for each of these friends to use when their little one gets here. I know that some of the best gifts are the handmade ones!



I couldn't resist sharing this fun onesie idea for a little boy. I feel like there are always cute girl gifts out there, and when I saw this, I couldn't pass it up. Enjoy the tutorial for Baby Boy Tie Onesies!

I got the idea from this website. You can also download the tie pattern here.

Step One: Print and cut out the pattern pieces for the tie. I bought a pack of onesies, washed them, and pre-ironed them. (Note: I had also washed the fabric I was attaching to them because I used it in other projects)

 Step Two: I just approximated with fabric scraps and fusible interfacing. It's easiest to cut the amount that you will need (plus a bit extra), so that you can cut the tie out once you have ironed the interfacing on. You will need as many pieces of fabric as onesies you are doing. Once I cut the fabric, I cut the fusible interfacing the same size.

Step Three: Iron the fusible interfacing rough side to the wrong side of your fabric. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds with a hot iron, just make sure that the interfacing is attached to fabric once finished.

Step Four: Trace the pattern onto the interfacing (if doing letters or numbers, trace backwards) and then cut out the pattern. Once everything is cut out, carefully peel the interfacing paper back and off the fabric. If you ironed correctly, the fabric will seem rough, as if an adhesive is on it.

Step Five: Place the fabric onto the onesie, with right side facing up, and iron on wool setting for no more than 10 seconds, or until your fabric is attached on all edges. That's it, your're finished!

Enjoy making these! I think they are funny, but a cute little onesie for a little boy who will looking dashing in his tie!
