Little Monster Baby Outfit

I loveeee making these super cool outfits for Brady. Its hard to find things they are cute for boys these days. Go to any given clothing store and you will see 20 racks of girls clothes and 1 rack for boy ages newborn-age 17....not cool. I'm always on the lookout for cool fabrics that I can use for outfits, blankets and decor for my boys.
I started with a 3/4 yard piece of little monsters jersey knit fabric from Jo-ann Fabric and Crafts. At $12.99 a yard, the fabric wasn't on sale, so I was able to use my 50% off on regular price item coupon that was texted to me that morning. I also found a pack of monster iron on's in the tshirt section. These were listed as $5.99 and were on sale for 50% off. Sweeeeeet!

I used a plain baby pants pattern I found online here.
I pre-washed my fabric in cold water and laid it out to air dry. I find it easier to cut and sew fabric when it is a little stiff from air drying.
Use the link above and follow the instructions on how to sew the pants. Its very simple.
To make the shirt, I used a plain white onesie we already had. You can find similar ones at Hobby Lobby, Old Navy and Walmart for $3-$6.00.

Iron the patch right in the center of the onesie. Flip it inside out and iron again to make sure it sticks.

 

 

Done! :)

 

 

 

Total Project cost : $ 7.87

Fabric was $4.87, iron-on was $3.00, and I used an existing onesie.
