The Greatest Idea Ever
My friend Jennie Worrell wanted a handmade present for her third baby, little Alyssa. So I racked my brain and I stole Lynn's idea. But I must say, this is one of the cutest and most professional things I've made! So again I give a great big "thanks!!" to Lynn for finding such a great project. I found butterflies on veer.com, photoshopped the body out and the veer logo. I ironed the wings on the back so your baby girl will look like they're flying!! I made 5 different ones. I put phrases on the front center that say things like "I'm all fluttery!" and "I can't walk, but I have wings!" and "watch me fly" and "little butterfly". They are just as pro looking as any carter's onesie. I was elated at how well they came out. Little Alyssa got the cool big winged green moth, a light blue butterfly, and a black, orange and white butterfly. So I have the monarch, and a yellow moth left. I will definately make more. But it ain't the cheapest overhead. I just think this is the bomb!
And for you pod lovers here's a 9x12 pod painting:

That is so cute! Your creativity is just blowing me over here. Pods and wings...it's just too much!

yeah, I'd definately turn them inside out. Jos' undies w. the big guitar did fine in the wash.

bob - good to know.
Katie - they turned out awesome! We'll have to make some dragon wings for my never-ending boys.

very cool. I love my mandolin boxers from Lynn, and I've got to put up a post about them, but one word about large blocks with the iron-ons: they dont do well in the wash. the smaller ones are fine, but the big chunks get flaky. perhaps it's the material or the quality iron-on stuff?
