Tutorial: Toddler bubble dresses from outgrown onesies

In the spirit of waste not, want not, Wen from What’s Mummy Up To? used her toddler daughter’s outgrown onesies to make bubble dresses. She shares a tutorial showing how she did it.  The top of the onesie will become the bodice of the dress, and gathered yardage makes the bubble skirt.  It’s an easy project that even a beginner can do.  For the tutorial, go to What’s Mummy Up To?

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.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
