Ever get a onesie or tshirt that you love the pattern, color or softness of but it’s got a big ol’ logo smack in the middle? Solution: AppliqueI don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner, this onesie would’ve come in handy under Soph’s pink overalls awhile ago but I always hated the logo. Sorry Calvin.I didn’t take step by step photos but here are the basics…

1- Cut out elephant shape from pink fleece. Cut ear shape out of pink gingham cotton.
2- Apply Heat’n Bond to elephant & iron onto onesie
3- Apply Heat’n Bond to ear & iron onto elephant
4- Draw pink heart on ear with fabric marker
5- Embroider around entire applique & details
6- Apply Heat’n Bond Liteto the inside of the onesie to protect stitchwork
That was it!

Don’t sew? Don’t underestimate the potential of iron on patches. I bought this “S” Hello Kitty patch for Samster at JoAnn’s & just love how it looks on a plain white tee. (Not that you can see the applique very well, someone has figured out it’s fun to refuse to let mommy take decent picture)

Another tip for ya…
I didn’t like the way the original thread looked around the outline of the elephant so I colored it!
I used a dark pink fine tip sharpie & just colored in the thread. Sigh, much better.
(FYI- I would’ve used a fabric marker if I had one in the right color, sharpie will probably fade a bit after washing but I’m ok with that.)
