My friend made (and I helped pick out) a bunch of images and she did iron on tees and onesies for our friend's twins as a shower present. Like a ton of them! To fit from newborn through 18 months.
This is similar to what I did for Em's Miracle Princess stuff (which I still have yet to see any pictures of!

eta: JZ, there's iron-on paper you can get from Staples, for white or for colored fabric.
How did she make the iron-on images?
There's iron-on transfer paper that can be run through computer printers.
(Of course this was an x-post.)
You get get iron-on stuff to print from your printer. Or, you can take images to most print shops and they'll copy them onto iron-on stuff.
Love my fancy vocabulary?!
and...it's x-post again!
I just got back from the final walk-through before really truly finally honest-to-doG signing my life away and buying our pretty house tomorrow morning. If I'm too exhausted to show up at the closing can I just phone in?
Awesome! I foresee much Little Nemo scanning in my future.
Do they actually last any decent length of time? The last time I had anything with an iron-on was in my '70s childhood, from which I remember the sadness of shiny new iron-ons that always looked kind of sad after the first wash.

I figure she can use it for awile. Ikea also sells a frame for a trundle that could go under for sleepovers.
I am having the hardest time finding decently priced, solid pink bedding. This is by far my favorite, though. [link]

I know she did something to them afterwards to set the image better but I don't know what it is. I will find out!
I was searching for a pic of the twins in one of the iron-on things and this was the only one I could find:

They are so much bigger now!
This picture is simultaneously ded-of-teh-cute and frickin' hilarious.
