I altered onesies for my dolls when I was a little girl. I also enjoy making them pretty for my niece and friends children. I love to tie-dye them. You never know what interesting patterns will arise.
so count me in – my first grandbaby on the way – would love to make things for her!!
I only started altering onesies recently, and I had so much fun! I’m excited to do some more.

I’ve only painted a stenciled image on a onesie for a friend. Now that I have one of my own, I’d love to try something a little more special. Thanks for the contest.

I would love to win this giveaway- no babies on the way for me – but when my neice was in utero we decorated a bunch of onesises for her. I went to a baby shower once where we used fabric paint on onesies for the mom to be – it’s a blast.

I have several onsies waiting to be altered. My baby boy needs some boyish atire, and he has several cousins on the way who will also need some cool onsies! wball.12@gmail.com
Cathie, I have a new grandson, born one month ago and a new granddaughter born 3 days ago! They are both in the market for some very cool onsies as their mothers are very artistic and I would love to surprise them with something unique! I have done some simple embroidery on onesies but I know this book is going to get me going on a new track!
A onesie is probably the only thing I haven’t altered! I have a friend with a baby on the way and the book is coming out at a perfect time for me ๐ scorpn5[at]sbcglobal[dot]net
I have a stack of onesies that I am planning on altering this weekend for my baby boy! I have babies on the way in my family and would love to make some gifts!
I have altered before… but this looks AMAZING.. thank you for the opportunity
I have played around with altering…ruffles and freezer paper fun. However would love to see all your wonderful ideas! Thanks, carolynyake@msn.com
These are so adorable!! I think my favorite is “Major POOP” —too cute!! ๐
SUPER PRIZE! I just altered a onsie for my 8 month old and a tshirt for my 1 1/2 year old for them to wear on easter.. its kind of like your “junior prom” one… I put a bowtie, dress shirt ruffles, and buttons on the little one, and a regular tie applique and dress shirt ruffles on the bigger one. I used red bandana fabric (because I had some scraps to use up) so I call them the “redneck dress shirts”
email: chasingrays@hotmail.com
Hmm, I think the funnest one I altered was the tie dye pumpkins for Halloween…I just had to give him a little jack o lantern on his tushy =)
I love to alter onesies. Infact, my daughter is wearing one now. It has ruffles on the bum!

nilly1st@gmail.com
I have two little ones that I want to refashion for.
We used iron-on transfers to spruce up some tiny snapsuits for my daughter before she was born. I learned a valuable lesson about not using cheap transfers!
I like to make matching snapsuits and undershirts for my kids for each holiday.

I love altering babies clothes. I cut the front part of my friends baby’s onsie, and I turned it into a bib by using the front part where the tummy is. Then,I presented back to my friend for her baby to use again!
pixiedustcentral@gmail.com
I’ve just gotten into putting appliques (initials & basic shapes) on onesies! So much fun to do inbetween my 1 yr olds naptimes ๐
Thanks for the giveaway chance!

I’ve never decorated a onesie, but I did applique a little giraffe on a baby-sized fleece jacket once. I think it turned out pretty cute!
I’ve taken onesie’s and added color to them with permanet markers. I never write the name of a child on their tops because that puts them on a first name basis with a stranger if he (or a she) can get close enough to read it. I’ve put horses and dogs on tops and used tulip paints to do the details.

I have done freezer paper stenciling to onesie’s, but look forward to doing much more once I get a hold of your book.

I have a nephew on the way. I’m putting together a gift basket of items for him. I’m decorating at least one snap suit for him.

I probably alter 1 or 2 every month. It is my favorite thing ever to take a boring white snapsuit & turn it into something fabulous

I have painted and designed onesies for my children and baby showers. They turned out ok, but not nearly as cute as these! I would love to get some more ideas and your book looks full of great ones! I also have a niece and nephew on the way and would love to give a more personal gift.
