So Jenn, did you keep the bottom of the onsie that you cut up? I considered it and even cut the snaps off and sewed up the crotch and tried it on Rohan, but then thought 'nah' and threw it in a fit of passion!

I don't like onesies in the first place & Jules is using to potty... lol....*if* she's bare bottomed and at home.. although she stayed dry during a 3+ hour outing yesterday. She only had a Sandy with No cover, I'm not ready for the soaking though undies and I don't honestly think she is really ready but I'm trying not to hold her back.
Alas, I didn't answer your question.
) since this was the only onesie that I bought & I figured I'd donate it if it was too bad.
I left the bottom intact knowing I could serge it off later if needed.

Tee!Hee! Made Sinead a patchy dress this morning and the first thing she said was that it was like Jules'! LOL Well ... sorta. I did Sinead's in blues w/gold stars and moons and a contrast of a burgundy strip every 6 blues. Really pretty but ... it def has a pucker from the top. Is it cuz the top is a poly/cotton blend? Too much skirt? Wanna help w/solutions, gals? I was thinking of pulling the skirt to more waist length - it's at the hips now -- and adding a sash. Whatcha think? My mom wants me to cut the two apart and just make it a skirt. I'm resisting this path. Any ideas?
Could you have too much of an extra seem in there from attaching the skirt? aka bulk?
Did you sew it?
Did you serge it?
Did you take the basteing stich out?
I've got one poly blend and one 100% cotton ones that just came out of the wash and I'm not seeing a pucker per se. ) I'm not a prewasher so I had to do a quick wash so I could give instructions for the mom who will be recieveing the other 2 in the series at the B-Day today.
I do have spots where my skirt was not big enough and it puckered the shirt part so it doesn't lay flat. But nothing noticeable when it it on the body kwim?
) I'll check back later.
The kids are gone to the party with the aunties and dh and I are going to have our own party )

I fixed it! Had too much skirt. Went kinda nuts w/the patchies! LOL So I cut off the top, cut out the gathers and started from scratch. BTW, I added a lining for the skirt so the quilting wouldn't ravel. Anyone else add a lining or am I just possessive of my work? LOL Anyway, looks MUCH better -- also I like it not so low on her hip - KWIM? When my digital comes home, I'll snap a pic. I'm dead pleased w/it and am inspired cuz to be honest -- for a minute there, I contemplated using my quilted pieces as a lap quilt! LOL Hmmmm .... I see a new rotary blade in my future! :-) Thnx for all of your help, gals! And hope you had a fun party, Jenn! ;-)
I totally understand wanting to add lineing. I just hadn't figured out the easiest way and ) didn't have any co-ordinating fabric left for this set.
Good to know about what happens when there is too much skirt. I think I would easily have that problem.
Thanks for the advice.

Well, I picked up some white lining the other day at Wal-Mart from their $1/yd table. Tell me I'm not psychic?! LOL Turned out super! Sinead is probably going to sleep in it since ever since she tried it on, she refuses to part w/it. Which is a pity cuz I still need to hem it! LOL I'm already going through the closet in search of the next one! LOL Meijer's had all of their winter tops on sale this weekend - 75% off! I see a new wardrobe in the works!! :-)))) Too much fun. Thnx for my newest addiction. Just what I needed! LOL
Wow, what an adorable dress! And this pattern is easier, b/c you don't have to sew the neck or the sleeves (most difficult parts of a dress for me). It looks so cute!
Mom of a boy here, or I'd be making one right now. Hmmm...I wonder how ridiculous *I* would look in something like this? LOL
