Flower Onesie Tutorial

I finally got around to making Lorelei a little something.

This is a super easy way to glamorize a plain onesie.

You'll need some felt, 2 strips of fabric, and fray check.

1. Cut two squares from felt.

2. Cut two strips of fabric...mine were about 18"-24"

3. Set your sewing machine tension to the highest setting and set your thread length to the longest setting.  Sew down the middle of your fabric strips to create a ruffle.

4. Starting at the center of your felt, sew the ruffled strip onto the square, spiraling it as you go.

It should look like this from the front when you finish the spiral

...and this on the back.

Do both flowers the same way.

5.  Squeeze the fray check across the ends of the fabric to prevent further unraveling.  I like a little unravelling because I think it looks shabby-chicy ;)

6. Lastly, sew the flowers onto your onesie.

Then put it on your baby!

She's thrilled to be wearing it, can't you tell???

This is also great for tshirts for older girls.

What a sweet sister's picture this would be to make a matching onesie and tshirt???

I hope your week has been a great one!

Side Table Makeover

This fabulous side table was given to me about a year ago.

I love the shabby chic look of it, but I wanted to incorporate it into Lorelei's nursery and I had another side table that I wanted to match it to.

I decided it was time to give this little guy an update.

I started by lightly sanding.
Then it got a good wipe down with a damp rag.

Next came the yellow spray paint.
About 3 coats to be exact.
I also removed the hardware and painted it white.

With a little help from a handmade stencil, a ruler, and a cute little guy, I created the design on the top.

Final result:

I'm happy with how it turned out.

I especially love the design on the top!

Here it is, in its new home...

and I think it's very happy.

Happy Monday!

What will you re-do today???
