(tutorial) Onesie Fun

This weekend I was in a decorating mood. 

It's a good thing that my friend is having a baby girl, 

so I got to have fun with some onesies. 

This was the first time I have ever decorated onesies myself, even though I 

have seen loads of them at baby showers. 

I tried to be a little bit original.

My first idea was the bow-on-the-shoulder, inspired by the many woman's shirts I have seen.

Next, I thought of ruffles around the neck.  

I had some really cute yellow eyelet fabric that I tried first, but I had gotten it at a 

thrift store, and it smelled too much like mothballs, so white lace it was.  

I created the ruffles, and bound the gathered part of the top one 

in white bias tape to hide the messy threads.

Finally, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.  

Several of you have asked for a tutorial on how to make the flower

first seen on the baby birdie dress, then on Ivy's Easter dress.  I thought it 

would look super cute on a onesie, so there you go.  

If you want to learn how to make one, keep reading!

The onesies came in this cute mesh bag, so I reused it with a new ribbon for packaging!

For some fun linky parties that I linked up to, go here.
