Tutorial: Baby boy onesie, with special info on binding edges

Naomi from Omi Creates joins Celebrate the Boy month with a free pattern and tutorial for a baby boy onesie. The onesie is sized for a 6-month-old baby boy. If you have an older or younger baby, you’ll need to adjust the pattern accordingly. Even better than the free pattern, though, is the special information on dealing with knits – in particular, how to bind those edges. Even if you aren’t planning on making a onesie, read her tutorial to find out how to conquer the stretchy fabric. Go to the tutorial and free pattern.

Sewing your own baby clothes is very satisfying. It’s one of the precious times when we as parents get to choose what our children wear without complaint. Dressing your baby in unique handmade clothing makes for wonderful photos and keepsakes too. As children get older they can select their own fabrics and become part of the sewing process.
