A Vera Bradley Inspired Onesie

We had a baby shower last week at work for one of the women who is obviously having a baby pretty soon. We had a potluck brunch which was really yummy. I kind of failed because I forgot until the last minute that I signed up to bring a fruit salad and all that I had in my fridge was two pints of blueberries. It worked though.

As an activity we decorated onesies. I am not the most crafty person, so I wasnt sure what I was going to do on mine, but then someone pointed out the obvious that I should do a Vera Bradley design. I was a little hesitant because she doesnt know if she is having a boy or a girl (it is going to be a surprise) but when she said that she doesnt really care about matching the babies clothes to their gender I decided to go for it. I had my camera case (a Raspberry Fizz Tech Case) on the table with me, so I used it as inspiration and went to town on my onesie. I like the way it turned out! Not too bad if I say so myself :) And they were super easy. We just used fabric pens to write on the shirts. I am surprised that this was the first baby shower I have been to where this was an activity. Next time I host a baby shower we will definitely be doing this!
