I shared this silly goose onesie at Cherished Bliss last week and wanted to post it here for you to see as well.
This simple little onesie is so quick to make and would make a unique shower gift for a sweet baby!
To make this onesie, you’ll need a Silhouette and iron-on heat transfer material. {If you don’t have a Silhouette, you could also make a freezer paper stencil and paint it on with fabric paint}.
I downloaded a goose from the Silhouette site and sized it to fit a small onesie.
To make the text angle properly across the rounded back of the goose, I used the text wrap function in the Silhouette software.
To do this, I drew an oval and put it right over the goose’s back so I could match the rounded edge.
Once I had it to the size and angle that I wanted, I moved the oval away from the goose and used the text function to type the word “silly”. See that little circle that popped up on the bottom left of the word? If you grab that dot with the cursor and pull it over to the oval, the word will wrap around the shape.
I moved the word into place {you’ll see the oval turn grey, meaning it won’t get cut when the Silhouette goes into action} and adjusted it until it sat where I wanted it.
The letters in the word can be spaced out by using the character spacing function.
When the image is exactly as it should be, the last step is to flip it horizontally before cutting {heat transfer projects must be flipped or they’ll appear backwards on your garment}.
Iron the image onto the onesie according to manufacturer’s instructions and you have a cute little gift for baby! I added a little flocked bowtie {two triangles} to give him a bit of pizzazz.
Cute, isn’t it?
Be sure to check out the other Silhouette projects I’ve made.
this is absolutely adorable! I wish there was a baby in my near future 🙁
that is too cute! I have a new grandbaby on the way. I’ll have to remember this one! Better yet….I’ll pin it! Thanks for sharing this adorable idea!
So sweet and I love that it would work for a boy or a girl
