Thank you for all the Birthday wishes! You guys are so sweet. Darn my husband for getting on, figuring out how to post, and writing such nice things.

I am going to try to post a few last minute Christmas gift ideas over the next little while. We'll see how many I get to! I feel like I am always making girly things. So I decided to give the little boys some love. I made these 3 tie onesies for my good friend Erin who is prego and about to pop any day now!

First make a template. Feel free to click to zoom on in this picture and just trace it from your computer screen. If it's too big just trace it then make it smaller.


Cut the tie so the lines will be diagonal (on the bias). Then cut the knot of the tie so the stripes are verticle.

(you can tell I made these around Halloween by my awesome tablecloth. Ha!)


You want the stripes to look like this.



Go get yourself some wonderunder. Walk into the fabric store...find the lady...ask her where it is. It will be on a bolt. They will cut you the amount you ask for along with some directions.



Use your template to cut a tie and a knot out of your wonderunder.



Remove the paper backing from your wonderunder and place it between your tie and your onesie. Starting with the tie, iron using no steam for about 10 seconds.




After you iron the tie on, do the same to the knot.



Then sew around the entire tie and knot with your sewing machine.


Sew about 1/8 of an inch in.

Trey took this picture. I have so many pictures like this of me holding things. Toys, pictures, crafts he has made. Most of them are just of my chest, or stomach, or feet though. This is the first one that looked alright.

After I made these tie onesies I decided to give some guitar onesies a try. They turned out so cute! I took them down along with some ties to the little shop downtown. Here they are!

I made little tags that say

love for the boys

Thanks to Kelly for calling me T-bird and giving me the idea.

I am planing on adding these to my etsy shop someday soon!
