I started off with a simple skirt of grey and yellow, per a friends request. I wanted the skirt to be able to go below the butt so her little one would be wearing a cute little dress. Now I'll be honest and tell you that this was my first attempt at making a onesie dress but I see many, many more in my future. :)
I got the directions for making the dress here. The directions were really easy to follow and I really did have a blast making it. My friend already had a onesie she wanted me to use so she mailed it to me, but when I received it, it was bigger than I had planned as it was a size 24m. So I had adjust the dress, so I detached the ruffle at the bottom, added another yellow/grey polka dot panel, reattached the bottom piece to the polka dot section and then ruffled that section. I then reattached it to the top of the dress. The hardest part and mind you make sure you go slow and take your time, was stitching the dress, through the elastic to the onesie. I actually stretched out the onesie a bit to pin the skirt to it for stitching so it would still stretch.
Once it was all stitched together I added a cute little detachable flower at the waist line. It was so cute! So next up is an Indian themed skirt in shades of grey, deep red and turquoise, with elephants and peacocks. I can't wait!! :)
Here's a picture of the finished onesie dress.
