after months of looking for cheap yet fitted 2T-3T onesie for noelle and never succeed, i finally decided to make our own onesie. i studied existing onesie, got the tutorial from this talented lady NAOMI and started to make it.
and since i am a thrifty mama, i do not want to spend a cent on buying knit fabric so i just go to my junk pile and decided that the victim was an old tank from POLO, i just love the white and blue combo (noelle loves blue too), and turned out i got the matching stripes knit (bought at opshop about 6mths ago) to go as binding. i made this onesie for full 2 hours because i dont have overlocker, i learnt how to cut the binding on quilters board using rotary cutter and i pressed the binding/seam (just like those sewing mamas do!) and got "help" from noelle :D
the hardest part of making this onesie was making the pattern and sewing the binding because i am impatient. i did not print the pattern from the site but i just traced existing onesie and add width and add length of the body by sliding the onesie up and down when tracing. i need to make the crotch area longer and more comfortable when she wear it. and when i sew the binding, it was pain because the stripes binding tend to roll.. but when i see the result, i feel pretty happy with my self.
i compared the result with babyGAP 18-24mth onesie and mine is huuuuge.. noelle was sleeping when i started sewing this last night, so i havent got any chance to try this on her. hopefully in a couple of hours more??
