Easy DIY Onesie’s with Silhouette

Handmade, small-production children’s clothing is so huge right now. Parents are looking for good quality, unique and artistic clothing for their little ones. Who wants to wear the same thing as everyone else? Not I and why should my children, right? Well, paying $50 for a hand-drawn onesie just isn’t in my budget, that’s for sure. I understand why the prices are so high since it’s usually just one person Mama behind the wheel. Don’t get me wrong, I love supporting those independent makers, I just can’t afford them all of the time. So I figured I’d create some of my own using my beloved Silhouette Cameo and the Designer Edition Software (which lets me upload my own files for the Silhouette to use). It’s been an era since I’ve drawn much of anything, but I put those rusty skills to use creating a couple of cute (and easy) designs to add to some of Conrad’s unadorned shirts and onesies.

I thought they turned out adorable. I loved creating custom shirts using my drawings and picking the colors I like (black and white) of course 😉 My mind is racing with other designs I can make!

This onesie was inspired by my love of all things Nununu. I figured this would pair nicely with all of Conrad’s Nununu pants.

I thought this one was kind of fun too. Just a friendly little play on the “It’s OK” banners that are so hot right now. The shirt is from here. It’s hard to find shirts as opposed to onesies in the smaller sizes. It’s not quite as soft as the Old Navy onesies though.

Now I get that the Silhouette Heat Transfer Bundle is an investment, but depending on how often you use it? You’ll make your money back in no time at all. I’m always thinking of ways to use it around here, believe me it’s not hard! Here are some easy DIYs on my to-do list that can easily be made with the Silhouette and heat transfer bundle:
