Rockin' Onesie


You only need 3 things to make this fast, and unique baby gift. A baby onesie or tshirt, a pair of tattoo sleeves, and a tattoo inspired iron on. You can find the onesie's and tattoo sleeves at the dollar store. The iron on's can be found at craft stores, as well as Walmart. I used a crystal skull and crossbones iron on, but there were many other tattoo influenced styles  including crosses, hearts, and wings. For under $5 you can rock your baby gift!

For this Project You will need:

Plain Baby Onesie or Tshirt


Tattoo Sleeves- Buy size Medium for Women as opposed to the mens size. I found mine in the Halloween section at The Dollar Tree store. If you buy the large size you will need to turn the sleeve inside out and sew inside the seam 1/2" to make them more narrow.

Tattoo inspired Iron On







Attach your Iron On following the patch directions. Try to not "over iron" the patch or they lose their stickiness.

Next trim your two tattoo sleeves. Use the following sleeve lengths for guidelines:



0-3 months = 14 or 15 cm
3-6 months = 16 or 17 cm
6-12 months = 19 or 20 cm
*Dont forget to add in the length of the short sleeve for the total length.

Add 1/2" seam allowance.



Turn the tattoo sleeve inside out and the onesie inside out.

Slide the tattoo sleeve over the short sleeve of the onesie about 1/2" and pin.


Hand or machine sew the sleeves together and turn right side out.
