Apologies for the craptastic photo, my digital camera is on the fritz so I had to use my phone. Yeah, one of the things that's happened since I last posted in December is that we're having a baby. In November. A girl baby. Upon discovering the sex of the baby I experienced a massive surge of anxiety over the fact that 95% of girl baby clothes are so darn cutesy-wootsy that they make my skin crawl. (Scratch that, 95% of reasonably priced girls clothes make my skin crawl ... turns out there's lots of stuff I love if you're willing to spend $25 a piece on organic/soy/hand printed onesies but really, the kid is just going to throw up on it!) So I decided to take matters into my own hands and whip up some baby attire that I find adorable.
I picked up a few fabric paints at JoAnn Crafts yesterday, and found some great images online, mostly from vinyl wall decal websites and tribal tattoo designs. I copied the images to Photoshop, printed them out and used them to cut freezer paper stencils, which I used to apply fabric paint to a bunch of plain, white onesies I picked up at garage sales for about 25-50 cents each.
I love how they turned out and can't wait to make more!
