This was one of the quickest and easiest sewing projects I ever tried!
First I washed everything and then ironed the fabric. Since I was going for a frayed-edge look, I ripped strips 4 of the fabric, about 2 x 18". I didn't measure carefully - I just eye-balled it!
Using my sewing machine I basted each strip down the centers and gathered them up by gently tugging on one thread. This could be easily done by hand too. You just have to play around and get the ruffles to look even.
Three of the ruffles were pinned to the back/bottom of the onesie and stitched in place, saving one ruffle to be pinned and then sewn to the front.
I am having so much fun making cute things for my granddaughter! What on earth did I do before she came along?!
Hopefully Amberly will snap a pic of Kori modeling her sweet summer suit (hint, hint).
