DIY Zelda and Pug Onesies

Two of my most-precious-friend-bee-ladies, Pug and Pretzel, are expecting, and I am super excited for both of them! So excited in fact, that I just had to get a bunch of baby clothes to customize. Which may or may not have freaked Sak out to one day come home to see a bunch of onesies around the house.

Although I have a yudu that screenprints excellently, I wanted to try the freezer paper method with the silhouette cameo.  The yudu is best for making large quantities of the same print, while freezer paper is a much quicker way of doing a single print at a time.

Scan in a pug drawing, adjust cut lines in the silhouette program, and cut out freezer paper!
Iron freezer paper to onesie, and screenprint. You could just dab paint on, but I used my yudu screen and applied the ink through the mesh for -sorta- more even application. It's not quite perfect because onesies are kinda made with stretchy ribbed fabric.
I used speedball fabric ink, which according to the webby is non-toxic and non-flammable. That's good.

Tear the paper off carefully, and all done!
Pugs are very hard to draw. Hopefully this looks sorta like one.
And the Zelda onesies:
I'm so pleased with how the opaque yellow came out, it almost looks gold!

Now I shall commence more squealing at the thought of cute babies filling little baby clothes. *squeeee*

  4. We love our Zelda onesies! I do need to get some good ink because I adore the freezer paper method and the onesies are so perfect Matt and I weren't sure if they were made or bought... then I thought about the sender and said "made!"

  7. Due to the fact its face is flat, the pug is loaded with lots of heavy wrinkles, notably all over the muzzle and forehead. dogtor online
