Layered t-shirt vinyl onesie

My friend Katie is getting a new niece/nephew and wanted to give them a University of Michigan onesie. She brought over a onesie and some yellow and navy t-shirt heat transfer vinyl. I had never tried layering vinyl before but after doing a little test with some of my scraps, I decided we would give it a go.

Layered Vinyl Onesie
After making the design with the silhouette software, I did a little copying and resizing to get an "M" that would fit well inside the other M". After getting them cut out, we just read the directions for layering from where she purchased the vinyl from. I know brands are different and this was cold peel vinyl so you wait after ironing to peel it off and then wait before doing the next layer. Make sure to read your vinyl instructions when you do this.


I am so glad we went with 2 colors to make it more authentic looking. The layering was simple and I would definitely do it again.

Katie's new niece/nephew is going to be such a great U of M fan!
