Onesie to Bubble Dress Refashion




Sophie has outgrown some old onesies that still had some life in them. When I saw the Turn a Onesie into a Bubble Dress tutorial at Make It & Love It I knew it would be the perfect 
project to get more wear out of them. This is what I created:

It was very easy to do. Simply cut off the bottom of the onesie, gather a folded piece of knit fabric (the folding eliminates the need to hem!) and sew it on to the bottom of the onesie. Go HERE for all the details. 

 Makes a great swimsuit cover up too!

Check back later this week where I'll show you how to make these coordinating knit flowers hair accessories from the left over fabric!

    So stinkin' cute! I love the dresses and your little girl is so cute. I have a little girl who is 3 that your daughter reminds me of so much. I bet she's a little ball of energy. I'm following on G+ and I'll be sharing this. LOVE it!
