So in preparations for Emmylou turning TWO (!), we've been getting rid of all the clothes that no longer fit her, to make room for a new haul - she's grown like weeds in the past few months! Isn't it so hard to get rid of their adorable teeny tiny clothes??! SADFACE! But alas, we must. I am saving some things to make a baby-clothes-quilt (I think. Maybe. I don't know.), but most of it we're donating.
I came across these two onesies, and knew I could still make them work!
Exhibit 'A':
An 18 month St. Patty's Day onesie that was too long last year, but too short this year! It still had the tags on it! And she IS a McCutie! So, I hacked off the bottom to make it a top:
CHOP CHOP!
Then I put the bottom part on Emmy's head and went to town on the serger.
Behold - my first ever lettuce edge hem!
So. Cool.
This took literally like 10 minutes, not counting changing the serger thread and settings and all. Hooray for baby clothing longevity-creating!!
This next one I just flat out could not part with. It's my favorite of all of her wee onesies!
Oh swoon. :)
So it's the same problem with this one - it's just too short, but fits fine otherwise. Here's what I did to fix it up:
CHOP CHOP!
POM POMS! :D
That's all - just sewed on pompom trim! Now it'll fit her through the summer! WIN!
Convo between me and the Hubs while I was pinning on the pomps':
Me: "I'm adding red pompoms to this onesie, but it has no red in it."
Hubs: "Now it does."
Awesome. :D
Have a great day everyone! Is it warm where you are? We're in the 50's up here in Massachusetts! C'mmmon, Spring!
