Begin with a plain, inexpensive snapsuit–and make baby fashion magic! Cutting-edge clothing for little ones is all the rage, and this collection, created by one of the most popular hosts on cable TV, taps into that phenomenon.
Each chapter features 8-10 projects, and has a small how-to section that explains the simple techniques, which range from tie-dyeing (with natural dyes, of course) to stamping, iron-on transfers, stenciling, embroidery, painting, and more. These one-of-a-kind fashions are perfect for hip, new moms, as well as family and friends looking to create a fabulous (yet low-cost) personalized gift!

Cathie Filian really knows how to create fun and fanciful baby outfits and how to help the reader make them. I am a grandmother who will use this book for a long time to create fun clothes for my grandchildren and friend's grandchildren. It is a must for moms and grandmoms.

When I first received the book, I only had time to flip through it. As I was scanning it, I saw about 20 projects I wanted to try. Then, I finally got a chance to sit down and read the entire thing. Now I want to do them all! Each chapter has a theme such as Dying, Painting, Applique, among other techniques and an extra chapter on how to throw a "Snappy Baby Shower". At the beginning of each chapter, she has breif explanations on what works, what tools are best, and other kinds of tips for the process of that chapter, including Q&A. The projects themselves are so easy and simple, that it just doesn't seem possible that they'd be so adorable, but Cathy had outdone herself with these super simple techniques to make the most stylish of onesies for babies. But what I like best of the entire book, is that you can apply all of these tips to more than just the onesies!

This book is full of creative ideas and inspiration on how to personalize a plain baby snapsuit. Great for gifts or jazzing up your little one's wardrobe.
The instructions are easy to follow - even for a novice! Plus the photos are absolutely adorable!
Great book and you can't beat the price.
