Sewing Tutorial: Bib onesie

Tricia from Made By Me & Shared With You shows how to make a plain onesie into something quite special by adding a cute bib. The bit of fabric stitched at the neck gives the look of a dressier top while still being a practical onesie. She also provides a free template for a bib that goes on a 3-6 month Carter’s bodysuit. And, her post includes a link to make a matching box-pleat skirt. Go to her onesie bib tutorial.

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.
