12 Months of Onesies

A very dear friend of mine, Brittany, is expecting...any day now!! She's due the 20th of July and she is soooo ready to meet her new baby. She recently had a baby shower and I made her something for the new baby. She doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, so I tried to keep it gender neutral. I made her a onesie for each month of the baby's first year so that she can take pics of the baby growing.

I had seen a few pin on labels and stickers around blog land for the 12 month onesies, but I figured an iron-on would be my best bet. Most of the ones I had seen were too cutesy or too boyish/girly.

I made sure to get a few different sizes so that as the months went by, the sizes got bigger...almost didn't think about that one...then she would have had 12 (0-3) month onesies...

I downloaded two different fonts from dafont.com and wrote the numbers and letters in word. I used 6 different colors. I then copy and pasted the numbers and "months" into paint. In paint, you can flip the pictures so that when you print the iron-ons and iron them on, the number and letters will be facing the correct direction. Most people nowadays have photoshop and other programs that can do that...not this girl.

I just printed the files on iron-on transfer paper, cut them out, and ironed them on.








I also found this cute picture frame from Pottery Barn to hold 12 pictures:

Can't wait to meet her baby :)
I'm voting girl!!
