Next I made a couple of burp clothes using the terry cloth on the back as well.  Very easy–cut the size you want, sew right sides together, turn right sides out, and stitch around the outside.

The last thing I made was a couple of onesies.  Tony wanted an owl and I decided a mushroom would go well with that.  First, I drew my picture on fusible web.

Then once you have your pieces cut out, you iron them down.  Next you stitch around them with your sewing machine (you could also do this by hand).

And ta-da!  You have some darling custom onesies.
