Turtle Onsie

My daughter is only 9 months old, therefore I love making onsies!  I made this one for her this morning.  I love the way it turned out.  I used the Silhouette CAMEO to create this design.  (Which honestly, I use the Cameo for almost everything I make anymore.)

I fell in love with this little turtle when I found it.  And of course I had to add a little bow to her head.

I love using the Silhouette Heat Transfer Material to create fun designs.  It makes a project so easy and it looks so professional as well.  What's not to love?!!

I put this onsie on my little sweet P right after I finished it.  As you can imagine, it is already stained from the sweet potatoes she had for lunch.  How is it that babies can get food everywhere, even wearing a good bib?  Oh well, hopefully my awesome bar of Fels-Naptha soap will get the stains out!

Coat Makeover

So I have had this coat for years now, probably 6-7 years.  I hardly ever wear it because it doesn't quite feel like me.  I love colorful fun clothes and a typical brown trench coat doesn't quite fit the bill.

So I had the idea to do a complete makeover.  I used some RIT color remover to start with a clean slate. Here is a picture of this step.  (Sorry this shot is from my phone, I didn't know I'd be blogging it when I took the picture.)

After I removed the dye I decided to dye the coat with teal RIT dye, and switch out the buttons for something a little more playful.  And to put my true stamp on the coat I designed a pattern on my Silhouette CAMEO and used Silhouette Fabric Ink to make it come to life.  I'll do a tutorial next time I use fabric ink so you can see the process.

This is how my coat turned out.  I LOVE it now!!!  It definitely has a little Amy flair now.  :)
