Onesies are and will forever be my favorite baby item. They are so cute. The remind me of tiny baby smells and the first few weeks of fresh baby love. You can never have enough onesies, am I right? Most of Cohen’s onesies are stained to the point of no return, so it’s girl onesie time!
Materials:
*Vintage Ladies fabric (or choose any other fabric, cut into an oval)
*ruffle lace trim
*blank onesie
I picked my favorite lady. The hair! The collar! The frock! So Jackie O. She’s got a little sass in her expression and the colors are beautiful, too! I picked one with a background to make it easy to cut out, but you can really do this project with ANY fabric. Just cut out an oval or circle of your favorite part and go from there.
Cut out your applique, adding 1/4″ to the size you want.
Then pin the ruffle lace on top of the applique’s edge. I used lots of pins because of the curves.
When the lace meets itself, fold the raw edge under a little.
Then sew the lace to the applique. A straight stitch will work just fine.
And you’re done!
Now…wait 5 months for a baby (at least that’s what I’ll be doing!)
You could always tie dye the stained onesies, that’s what I do :)
very cute! I always appliqued pieces of shirts that were not redeemable to the stained ones. pieces of superman logos, and interesting sayings, but also making leaves and things. I did that to my own shirts that were stained as well…
cute idea she’ll have some of the most interesting onesies out there
Very cute! I was just thinking about doing something like this, a silhouette of my kid’s heads framed in lace like a cameo but on lap quilts for their great grandmothers. This on a onsie is genius! Thank you for the fantastic idea and tutorial! I must go browse my fabrics see if I have anything remotely useable for this…
