Easy as {mag}Pie

June 12, 2009 by dailygnome 4 Comments

I recently designed some artwork for a client using a magpie theme and learned that the magpie bird symbolizes impending good news and the arrival of new guests. My good friend Jo had her baby girl this week. Willamina. Such a lovely name. I wanted to make something unique and hands-on to give this special babe.

Using the same tutorial I found for Carson’s 03 shirt, I created this onesie. Only prerequisite was a steady hand (Jason’s) for cutting out the stencil.

Welcome to the world, sweet Willa!
