baby gift idea

Hiya everyone, Hope you are all well !! I am sorry i have'nt been around recently but i have all my craft goodies packed away ready for the builders to move in. However i can just get to my cricut so i had a play with it and came up with these altered baby-grows.I took some material and ironed the back with some heat & bond then i ran it through the cricut using cutting blade set at 5 and the rest set at 4 .I used cindy-loo cartridge . i then ironed the cut outs onto the baby-grow and stitched all around the edges[very fiddly to do] Anyway i am pleased with the outcome and have saved a few pennies along the way. xx jo xx
