Robot Outfits Update

Several months ago I blogged about the robot outfits that I made for my friend Becky's wonderful twin girls, Isobel and Ophelia. Becky recently sent me a photo of Isobel sporting her snazzy little outfit. I think Isobel looks a lot like Becky's husband Eliot in this picture. Isn't she adorable? I love the shoe/socks.

Cuteness in a Skirt

Ta da! A photo of Islay in the skirt I made and talked about here last week. This was taken at the end of a long day, featuring Islay's first trip to the Royal Ontario Museum (including the new Crystal wing) and to Bombay Palace. So Islay wasn't up to changing into another onesie, though you definitely get the idea of how cute she'll look in the whole ensemble from this photo.

Robot Outfits, Completed

Here are the completed robot outfits! I really like the way they turned out. They're sized at 6-9 months, and I'm sure that Islay, Ophelia and Isobel will all look adorable in them!

I sewed a little bit of fabric on the back of one of the onesies as decoration. It looks cuter in person than in this photo, though:

Mr. Roboto

Yesterday I used the robot iron-on transfers I purchased from The Mod Dots Shop. In addition to this super-cool addition to my husband's now probably-not-for-work shirt, I also made three baby robot onesies:




So cute, right? I am planning on modifying these onesies by adding little skirts. They will be gifts for Ophelia, Isobel, and Islay (Islay is the new addition to the McLeod clan who we will be meeting- finally- next weekend.) I'll post photos of the finished onesie outfits in a bit.

Every baby should have a robot onesie. Not every baby, however, should be subjected to viewing the Mr. Roboto video by the Styx. How do we explain this cultural manifestation? Stuart Hall, I need your guidance on this one. Domo arigato. (Mea culpa, I'm a child of the 80s and couldn't contain myself.)
