Onesie Dress TUTORIAL

This 8-step process from cutting to sewing should take 30-45 minutes.

STEP 1: Gather your materials.
            (Onesie, fabric, scissors, sewing pins, dress pattern, iron and basic sewing machine)


STEP 2: Place skirt PATTERN from "DRESS E" (the blue dress in the picture above) over the fabric. Pin and cut to the appropriate size.
Note: the pattern will give more detailed instructions. You can choose another pattern if you want.


STEP 3: Fold over one end of fabric, the longer side, about 1 cm & iron it. Sew across it in a straight line. This is your hem. Make sure to close the stitch so it doesn't unravel.
Note: simple instructions about this are found in sewing machine manual.

STEP 4: Fold fabric in half, lengthwise, pin it and sew the shorter side together. This will be the back of the skirt. Make sure to close the stitch so it doesn't unravel.


STEP 5: Cut snaps off onesie. I cut freely but you can use a ruler if you want to be more meticulous.



STEP 6: After turning the fabric inside-out, stick the onesie inside with the collar opening towards the hem.

STEP 7: Pin the bottom of the onesie to the non-hemmed side of the fabric. Make sure the tag & back stitch of fabric skirt are aligned.

STEP 8: Turn inside-out and now you have your ONESIE DRESS!
