Getting Ready for Baby

I've been wanting to make shirts for my kiddos for this new baby.  We still have "big brother" and "big sister" shirts that would fit everybody, but some have been worn a lot and are a bit rough (read: stained).  I decided that this time around I'd like to make shirts for the kids and so a while back I was playing on pinterest and came across an easy tutorial for making personalized shirts.  All I needed was a few blank t-shirts (easily found at the thrift store for about $1-2 each) and some bleach which was already in the cabinet.

The tutorial suggested using the Cricut (which I have) to cut out the letters.  Unfortunately I have only one cricut cartridge which has letters of the alphabet and they were way too skinny when cut small enough for the baby's onesies.  So, instead I used some wooden letters that I had lying around.

I love the way the shirts turned out - some bleached a little more than I had planned (especially the onesies which were paler to start with), but each one is unique and the kids love them.  I can't wait to find out whether we get to use the blue onesie or the purple one!
