onesie tutu

Boys ROCK...but when I have a girl I fully plan to dress her in tutus all the time.
 My cousin Cody and Mersadie are having a Baby GIRL at the end of next month so I wanted
to test out my crafty skills for their present... I always thought the onesie tutus were cute, so I started blog stocking to find a good tutorial...I came across THIS. Making it easy enough for even me to do it!!

 I love it:) sorry I took it outside...my house doesn't have the best lighting...

I actually used a head band rather than elastic...
I would say its the way to go for the baby onesies. 
Plus I wanted to make a head band to match.

 I ended up cutting a bit of the band off, but its ok because the tulle will cover it.
I did a zig zag stitch in the front back and both sides so it wont rip off:)

once you sew it on tie your tulle all around.... after I was done i went around and snipped 
off the top of the knot so it has a clean edge...because I was not planning on covering with ribbon.:)

  5. I am surprised. I have a 2 year old girl. I never promoted the tutu/pink thing, but she is all over it nonetheless. She would have LOVED a tutu like this even at a few months old. For now she'll have to be happy with a bigger girl version! Thanks for sharing! I am your newest follower. I would love it if you came over to Greetings From the Asylum and followed me too!

  13. Ashley, absolutely adorable project! Great idea on using the hairband elastic. You've definitely made me nostalgic for the days when my girls were little and would prance around in tutus and bows!

    Such a pleasure to have you link up to "A Little Birdie Told Me..." at Rook No. 17. I hope you'll feel welcome to join the party again!
