Hooray! I finally got to make something for my little-one-to-be! I made it without a pattern, thought I did get some inspiration from several blogs (and Pinterest). I made it using a onesie and a scrap of cute little pink flowered fabric. Now. The band around the waist is
not straight and I am aware of it. I took the seam out and sewed it again, and it is still crooked. Also, I am going to cover the stitching around the band with some ribbon or something, That being said, I think it's not too bad for a first try at making something completely on my own!

Please ignore the dingy onesie.
This was a trial run with one of the boys' old onesies! |
A lot of onesie dresses cut off the bottom part of the onesie, but I left mine whole so that I could still snap it around her diaper. That way it won't ride up when she wiggling around or we pick her up. I just hemmed a rectangle of fabric, gathered it, sewed the side edges together, then sewed the skirt onto the onesie. Then I sewed a purple tube of fabric and sewed it right over top of the ruffle (mostly to hide the raw edge of the ruffle). I thought about doing a whole tutorial, but didn't know if anyone would be interested. If you want more detail, let me know. :)
