Grande Onesie Finale





As I near Week 39, it is time to decorate every last onesie. I continued with my animal from earlier, using penguins, giraffes and polar bears from Animal Paper Chains and a dove I found on the internet. The ribbon between the giraffes comes from RetroDepot. I attempted a freezer paper stencil (see the polar bears) but was unhappy with the coverage of the fabric paint I used (cheap Tulip brand from JoAnn's).


Then I completed a little Jewish series as well, with the help of printable fabric. This features a "shabbat shalom" onesie welcoming the Sabbath, a onesie with the biblical verse "for this child I have prayed" with a coordinating hat, and a third onesie with the verse "You fashioned me in my mother's belly." Unfortunately, layering the printed Hebrew on top of the under fabric required two layers of fusing and made the resulting onesies very stiff. Something to improve upon...
