Babies spend a 
lot of time in sleepsuit/onesies, they’re easy to get on and off a wriggly squirming baby! The thing is, when you have a new baby girl you want to dress her in girly things so I’ve found a solution, this onesie dress tutorial from Emma’s blog
Now I’ve done my own take on this, I live in Scotland and we’re coming into the cold weather so I used a sleepsuit (see right). I also upcycled an old shirt so had to fiddle around a bit to get enough fabric.
I took the back of the shirt and 
cut 2 strips, overlocked around the edges the joined the 2 sides.
TIP – Press your fabrics before you start.
From there I followed the 
instructions on the blog, doing the gathers was fiddly but keep measuring against the sleepsuit till it fits.
I had some trim in my stash so edged the hem with it to pretty it up, then I made a wee bow for the kneck and VOILA, a pretty but cosy dress for your baby girl!
You did a great job! I love twist using a sleepsuit.
Thanks Emma, I have lots of ideas for more, boys ones too! 🙂
You could do the mini bow for a boy perhaps and make it a dapper bow tie jumpsuit. This is an easy to follow pattern with infinite options on colours and trims.
That’s a good idea, with perhaps a trim to match on the legs. 🙂
What a great idea! You could vary that infinitely too. Well done.
Thanks Jennie, brimming with ideas now! 🙂
