Time to take a break from
fall decorating projects to make a couple of really cute Onesies dresses for my
youngest granddaughter, I haven’t made any clothing for her yet, it was way
past time to get busy. I really can not
take credit for the idea of making baby Onesies into summer or winter dresses,
I saw several versions on Pinterest and decided to make a few dresses of my
own.
It was a pretty simple
process to take a basic Onesies (snap style body suit, for those of you who
have not seen them) and add a skirt. Since my granddaughter is only a year old;
I used a 1/4yd of 44” wide fabric, stitched the ends closed, gave it a narrow
hem then gathered the waist and stitched it to the Onesies, all done, just that
simple. It did not take long once I got
use to the stretch of the Onesies and the lack of stretch in the cotton fabric,
it was a bit tricky at first until I got the feel of all the stretchy
knit. The two dresses came out so darling
I can not wait to see our baby girl modeling them, I will try to get pictures
of her in the dresses, if I can catch her, she moves really fast. Giggles!!!
Thanks for letting me share
my latest sewing project with you, I am not sure what is up next, it is just
too hot to work on the fall projects and I kind of lost my inspiration on
those. I am working on several new patterns and the prototypes for those, which
I can’t share with you until the patterns are out for sale. I guess I will have
to put on my thinking cap so I can find a project I can share with you.
See you soon.
Laurette
