A good friend is about to have her third babe, and had asked me to look into getting a good deal on a bunch of cloth diapers for her (I've cloth diapered my little guy since he was a newborn due to allergic reactions and eczema, and it's gone really well - and saved us a lot of money). So, I found everything she needed to cloth diaper full time, and a couple of her sisters and friends split the cost with me. We then surprised her with a mini-shower the other night so she would have everything before the babe arrives. We did the usual baby shower games, and finished off with a 'make a onesie' craft.
Supplies needed was a package of HeatNBond Ultra Hold, a bunch of fabric scraps, and an iron & ironing board. For the onesies, I just went through my newborn box and picked out a bunch. We had a lot of fun creating, and most of the designs have to do with her husband's hobby of gaming and his sense of humour.
I think I'm going to dig out some of my daughters stained t-shirts and try this on them too.

They are cute! Will they stay on if you don't stitch around them?
@Alisa ~ this is what the packaging says:
This iron-on adhesive is the crafters choice over traditional fusible webs. It has a no-sew bond that is 3 times stronger than other webs.
Edges do not need to be sealed and materials can be machine washed.
Those are so cute! The sock monkey on the green background is my favorite!
What a great idea! Do you have to sew them after? How does it hold up in the wash?
What a cute collection, and a fun group craft activity! The mum-to-be must have been so happy.
what a great idea with the onsie!! I think I just might try that at my daughters showers
Awesome idea for a shower activity! My daughter is pregnant, so I may have to give it a whirl myself!! Cute shirts, too - whoop whoop!!
I always say I am going to do up some of those shirts and never get around to it! Yours looks precious!
