I am co-hosting a baby shower for my niece.
She and my nephew are expecting their first baby in the near future.
Her MIL (my SIL) asked if I would help host the shower.
I got to plan the games.
I am excited about that!
I have to bring some food too.
I didn't feel like I was doing very much when the idea hit me.
ONSIE DECORATING PARTY!!!
So I bought a bunch of Onsie's and then the fun part.
Figuring out what to put on them.
I did a combination of things.
I found some great fabric with animals and things on them.
I fused Steam-A Seam to the fabric and cut out the animals.
All they will have to do is choose an animal and a Onsie and press it on.
I also went to some free coloring book places online and got simple animals from their sites.
I printed the pages I liked, traced to fusible, and rough cut out the shapes.
I then fused those to fabric and rough cut out the shapes.
I will bag them up individually with their picture and
have those available for those that are a little more adventurous.
Here are some of my favorites
I will have to bring them all home and sew around the designs but that will be fine.
The mom-to-be is in a PhD program for Neuroscience at the U of M (where I work too).
I felt a "special" onsie design coming on.
Yup, one big science nerd over here!
Welcome to the family sweet little one!

What a great idea. This will be the best dressed little one on the planet! :-)
Fun idea! I did one years ago and brought fabric markers and squares printed with the same fish outline. Everyone colored them and then I made a baby quilt.
Absolutely adorable!
My husband's cousin's daughter just had a baby girl... your onsies are a great idea!! Will have to get going and find the perfect girlie thing!! Thanks for the idea!
How cute!! I thought about you all this weekend - hope your dad was ok with the move to AA. Best wishes to you and your family.
My mom made a bunch of these for my the grandson born last January. Problem is that he was a big one, as well as every other baby born in our family this past year.
